Blessings

The city of Boston has been blessed with some great, great athletes in the last hundred years. The three coolest were Teddy Fucking Ballgame, Bob Cousy, and Bobby Orr. Hands down the coolest of the cool. There were so many others that were and are close that I won't list them.

But every city has their own list:

===========

New York: Patrick Ewing, LT, Lou Gehrig

LA: Jerry West, Deacon Jones, and Sandy Koufax

Philly: The Bull, Julius, and Ron Jaworski, who loves football like he loves his Mom.

The Cities by the Bay: Bobby Bonds, Joe Montana, and Al Davis

San Antonio: Tim Duncan, James Silas, Larry Kenon

Dallas: Roger Staubach, Troy Aikman, Deion (yes, it's true)

Chicago: Sweetness Payton, Shoeless and Hall of Fameless Joe Jackson, Dick Butkus ("DICK BUTKUS")

St. Louis: Bob Petit, Albert Pujols, and Bob fucking Gibson

Baltimore/DC: Jim Palmer (and Earl Weaver. they probably still call each other up to bitch), Johnny U, Elvin "E" Hayes

Miami: Dan Marino, Bob Griese, and Antoine Walker

Toronto: Tom Henke with the glasses, George Bell, Tai Domi

Cleveland: Lyle Alzado, Omar Vizquel, and Albert Belle (he could crush you and me like a couple of grapes, still)

Pittsburgh: Franco Harris, Mario Lemieux, and Roberto Clemente

Houston: The Tyler Rose, Joe Sambito, Hakeem


Who's on your city's list? And if you don't have one you should, I think.
