Let's keep going with the theme of yesterday. My argument that the greatest of the greats featured these players. Brady, Bill, Bobby and Ballgame. Tom Brady, Bill Russell, Bobby Orr, and Ted Williams closed the case that the greatest of the greats are from Boston. But who's Boston's best athlete? To make it a tad fairer we can put in a backup from each sport. Larry Bird for basketball, Carl Yastrzemski from the Sox, Ray Bourque takes the Bruins, and I'll go with Tedy Bruschi for football. Eh, why not make it an even ten? Doug Flutie and Rocky Marciano can be the wild cards. Then it's simple. You set up a bracket with the big four as the top four seeds.
I'm just kidding that's not a good way about it. Here are the simple facts: Ted Williams would have set the home run record had he not gone to the army for three years, but he still ended up with 521. The last player to hit .400. Triple Crown winner. MVP. Pennant winner. All-Star Home Run. Red Seat Home Run. Last Home Run. Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived. Sorry, Brady, Bill, and Bobby, but this one goes to Ballgame.
Yeah, the bracket wouldn't be fair, would be more random. And I agree, I suppose. Williams was great!
