Joe Gill – the creator of the website Boston Sports Then and Now – put together Boston Sports Blogapalooza, a gathering of bloggers, writers, sports fans and Boston sports media.  During the event, the New England Sports Network (NESN) was present – and polled a number of the event’s participants, inquiring about who each felt was the biggest and greatest sports legend of all-time in the city of Boston.

Specifically, yours truly was present promoting The Wife Hates Sports.

So, who did I pick as the biggest legend in the history of Boston sports?

Well, first off… it was a tough call – a real tough call, as the city is rich in sports history.

The decision was made easily once NESN.com inquired who the WIFE would hate most.

That made the answer a piece of cake.  The WIFE’s passionate frustration and hate for baseball pushed me towards the Red Sox – and well, arguably the best hitter of all-time… yep, you guessed it – “Teddy Ballgame”.

Ted Williams – the last .400 hitter in baseball history – gave so much to the Fenway faithful throughout his illustrious career.

For my response – as well as a number of others…

I’d also like to thank Joe Gill for putting together Boston Sports Blogapalooza, as well as the great people I met recently at the event.

In addition, I’d like to thank NESN.com for helping promote the site, via the aforementioned video.
