10 in '92, tbh I didn't really pay attention to sports until '93 chiefs/cats. So this answer is probably george brett, the only athlete I think I was even aware of at the time.

10 yrs old in 1998.

Football: Derrick Thomas, met him and got several items autographed around this time.

Basketball: Space Jam was 2 years old, so Michael Jordan like the rest of the universe.

Baseball: ??? Had a Frank Thomas poster on my wall from Book Fair. Braves were on TV. So Maddux, Jones x2

10 in '98.

Baseball: For sure McGwire, though I came to regret it. Smoltz/Glavine/Maddux/Andruw/Chipper Jones cause ATL was so hot in the 90's. Griffey was always like the Dr. Pepper #3 choice after McGwire and Sosa in backyard HR derby.
Football: Still wasn't a cat fan yet, and I pretty much didn't care about NFL, so I didn't really have one.
Hockey: Even though I'd call myself a Red Wings fan, Dominic Hasek v Roy was still a few years off, so I'll go with Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr were who me and friend played as all the time on NHL 97/98, so I'll go with them.
Basketball: Jordan 23, I mean come on.

Mike Renfro for the oilers with the questionable end zone catch against the steelers in the playoffs?

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
