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.
The city of Boston has played host or home to hundreds of incredible athletes, and Boston.com assembled the best of the best in a March Madness-style bracket. The GOAT candidates come from all over, mountain to Marathon, but the city’s oldest team sent the largest delegation.
The Red Sox were founded in 1901. In the 117 years since, the team has won eight World Series while producing an abundance of stars that need no full name.
