Sandy Koufax
Sandy Koufax’s left arm
Sandy Koufax’s arthritic shoulder, which unjustly robbed the world of the most brilliant pitcher in history
Sandy Koufax humiliating the Yankees in the 1963 World Series
did I mention Sandy Koufax?
Yes, but you didn’t mention Moe Berg.
Now we need a question.
Sorry, I deliberately left it open for someone who could actually think of five Jewish sports legends - I couldn’t think of more than 2 (Koufax and Shawn Green, which stretches the value of “legend” a bit, and maybe that guy from CHARIOTS OF FIRE but I don’t remember his name).
That said,
Name five US presidents who survived assassination attempts.
The only other Jewish athlete I could think of offhand is Adam Podlesh.
Oliver and Hardy is one person, not two.
Sasha Cohen
Already named:
Sandy Koufax (no doubt qualifies)
Shawn Green (iffy)
Moe Berg (more a legendary person than athlete per se)
Adam Podlesh (not really a legend, IMHO)
Sasha Cohen (second-best nominee)
I’ll add:
Hank Greenberg (baseball great)
Dolph Schayes (Basketball: once played for a team called the SPHAs, which stood for South Philadelphia Hebrew Association)
Red Holzman (coach of New York Knicks’ NBA championship team)
I think there’s a legitimate quintet among this group.

Name five US presidents who survived assassination attempts.

Harry Truman
Franklin D. Roosevelt (though he wasn’t yet president, IIRC, during the incident when Chicago mayor Cermak was killed)
Gerald Ford
Ronald Reagan
Theodore Roosevelt
Name five African cities that begin with “A”.
Abidjan
Addis Ababa
Alexandria
Algiers
Accra
Name five baseball players whose last names begin with “Q”
Dan Quisenberry
Chad Qualls
Carlos Quentin
Jamie Quirk
Paul Quantrill
Besides the USA, name 5 countries that have the dollar as their currency.
Australia
New Zealand
Canada
Singapore
Fiji
Other than the incumbent, Julia Gillard, name five Australian Prime Ministers.
I would argue that Oliver and Hardy are two people. Perhaps a symbiotic relationship in their prime, but two people nonetheless.
Sasha Coehn is very, very nice. Jagshemash!
Are you sure you don’t mean (Stan) Laurel and (Oliver) Hardy?
As to famous Jewish sports heroes, I have this very nice pamphlet that the stewardess gave me…

Menzies
Whitlam
Frasier

Almost. It’s Fraser, not Frasier.

Name five actors who have won an Academy Award in their only nomination. (either supporting or lead.)
Dr. Haing S. Ngor
Forest Whitaker
Adrien Brody
Roberto Benigni
F. Murray Abraham
Name 5 Monopoly pieces.
Dog
Hat
Car
Boat
Iron
Come to think about it, why is there a thimble and an iron as Monopoly pieces, when all of the other pieces are aspects of filthy richness ?
Heh. Name 5 samuraï (historical ones, anime don’t count ! 
)
Because you have to take in laundry after you lose all your money speculating in Jersey real estate.
MI5 is a security and not an intelligence service; that’s MI6. So I’ll toss in NSA instead.
Tokugawa
Basho
Hirohito
Yukio Mishima
‘Go-Ban’ Tadanobu.
I’m not going to add a question until Kobal2 confirms that he or she accepts all of those as correct answers.
Whelp, as I answered privately, Tokugawa is too wide a net since it is a family/clan name, and Yukio despite having wet dreams about being a samurai and following bushido was born too late to be one for realz.
That said, I don’t want to stop the thread dead in its tracks either - let’s say if nobody can find a satisfactory answer by Monday, you can ask your five regardless and I’ll just smug it up in the corner for stumping the Dope
