Again, I don't consider him to be specifically a Boston athlete. He's truly inspirational though. I also almost picked Tedy Bruschi. However, I decide Curt Schilling before the video game scandal. He knew that the Sox would struggle if he didn't go out and pitch Game 6 in the 2004 ALCS. He had ankle surgery two hours before the game and then went out and pitched a stellar game and slammed the Yankees and won the game for the Sox. It was completely barbaric and heroic and selfless. I don't know how he did it, but the bloody sock will always be proof that he did. Inspirational.
Good choice. This one might have many different choices, depending on the person and the team they grew up watching.
