I have lists of them in a book The Jewish Directory and Almanac. There are actually quite a few - besides professional players, it includes many Jewish Olympic Gold, Siver and Bronze medalists from different countries, from the 19th Century to when the book was published in 1984. They've won for fencing, rowing, swimming (including Mark Spitz), vollyball, yachting, wrestling, gymnastics, speed skating, water polo, long jump, boxing, free rifle, javelin throw, basketball, shot put, soccar, kayaking, long horse vault, judo, weightlifting, etc.

And one of the best professional ball players: National Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, from Brooklyn!
