Who would be on Boston's Mount Rushmore of sports?

[Gomesfan]

C'mon what about Donny Marshall?lol

This is an awesome thread

Who I would expect to be up there would be

Orr, Brady, Larry, and Ted

I just think those guys are the most loved, although I could see Red getting in there and nobody would argue, but he already has a statue.

Who I'd want to be there in terms of taking my boy to see it and then telling him the stories

Flutie
Viniateri
Orr
Schilling
Larry

Yeah that's right. I'd have 5. And if it were up to me they'd go to the real Mount Rushmore and get Reagan in there and if they couldn't fit him then cut off Jefferson.

Not a Boston native and really can't stand any team aside from the Celtics, so I'm probably not qualified for this, but here would be mine

Bird, Red, the Hoodie, and Teddie Ballgame

apologies to Russell, Brady, Orr, Bourque, and Kid Nichols

[Brickowski]

Boston would need more than four sculptures.

There is no way you could omit Ted Williams, Bobby Orr, Bill Russell, Tom Brady,Bill Belichick, Larry Bird, Bob Cousy, Carl Yazstremski, John Havlicek or Red Auerbach.

That's 10 sculptures.

Brickowski is right that you'd be omitting guys that are considered possibly the best to ever play. If Brady wins one more ring he's basically the best QB that ever played. Russell, Cousy, and Red revolutionized everything they touched.  Belichek is one of only two coaches to coach a perfect regular season.  Ted's the last guy to hit over .400.  There's just no way to have more.

Holy moly. We are the greatest sports town in the world. That clinches it. I don't think there's any other town that can boast maybe a top 5 franchise in every major sport and a local Heisman winner. The Celts are #1. The Pats have to at least be in the top 7 or something, the Bruins are at least top 5, and the Red Sox are at least top 5.  Plus we have the best marathon

I don't think any other city can do that. Rangers, Yankees, Giants, Knicks?  I don't think so.

Bulls, Bears, Cubs, Blackhawks?  Close but no.

I know. I know. I'm realizing this just now? I wonder why we are so blessed.

Bill Russell, Orr,Williams, Brady

the Bruins are not a top 5 hockey franchise.  And frankly I wouldn't be so sure the Red Sox or Patriots are top 5 franchises.  Mere rebirths of late doesn't negate the decades upon decades prior.

The Pats are tied with 4 other franchises and behind 3 for 3rd most Super Bowl wins. All those teams have had many down years, but the Pats are the only one with a perfect regular season so yes they are. Pre-NFL/AFL merger stuff doesn't count

The Red Sox have the 3rd most World Series titles just ahead of the Dodgers, Reds, Pirates, San Francisco Giants, and Tigers all of whom haven't won one in well over a decade so yes they are

The Bruins have the 5th most Stanley Cup wins, the longest post season streak ever, and the best player in league history. So yes they are
