The engrossing ``SportsCentury'' series is a collection of biographies that detail the 20th century's most memorable sports personalities and moments. A combination of ESPN's considerable resources and a panel of renowned authors, commentators and observers produced the hallmark of the series in 1999, a countdown of the top 50 athletes of the 1900s, each observed in an hourlong documentary. ``SportsCentury'' also included four themed specials (Greatest Coaches, Greatest Games, Greatest Dynasties and Most Influential Individuals) and six ``SportsCenter of the Decade'' programs (one covering 1900-49 with others for each subsequent decade). The series won a Peabody Award in 2000.
