I guess Bill Conti is the specialist of sport scores :

ROCKY 1,2,3,4,5 & 6 (Box)
KARATE KID 1,2,3 & 4 (Martial Arts)
Rookie of the Year (Baseball)
Escape to Victory (Soccer)
Dreamer (Bowling)
Goldengirl (Olympics)
The Terry Fox Story (Running)
The Bear (Football)
The Coolangatta Gold (Marathon)
By the Sword (Fencing)
Necessary Roughness (Football)
8 Seconds (Rodeo)
The Scout (Baseball)

Anyone finds a more specialized composer ?

Jerry Goldsmith :

Yes, sort of. What about David Newman?
he have scored some sport themed films such as:
Mr. Destiny,
The Sandlot,
Talent For The Game,
The Air Up There,
and
The Mighty Ducks,
did I leave anyone out?

I imagine this should apply: Elmer Bernstein's classy work for FEAR STRIKES OUT, a 1957 Paramount pic about baseball legend Jimmy Piersall. Hard to top that powerhouse main title!
