8 Boston athletes who just missed the cut for our #GOATMadness bracket

In the spirit of March brackets, Boston.com launched its own: Voting to decide who is Boston’s greatest-ever athlete. The #GOATMadness bracket carries a full 64-person field, so go vote.

Trying to pick the 64 greatest athletes in Boston sports history requires some difficult choices. So when it came time to create the field for Boston.com’s #GOATMadness bracket, we knew a few worthy names would ultimately miss the cut. Just as choosing Boston’s GOAT involves an element of subjectivity, so, too, does narrowing down the field.

Sure, names like Manny Ramirez and Ali Raisman are easy to land on.
