Boston fans of a certain age were spoiled watching Larry Bird, then Pedro and now Tom Brady.

Not sure any sports town has been that blessed.

New York: LT, Jeter (!), Mariano, Messier, Gretzky (for a short while), Gooden, Piazza.

I think he was referring to a more modern era, although Ewing would certainly fall in there.
 
We were blessed to watch Ewing?

We must have been watching different players.
 
Greatest performance by Pedro, IMO: 1999 LDS Game 5, pitching with a messed-up back, and coming out of the bullpen in Cleveland and pitching six near-perfect innings.

He really re-energized baseball in Boston and ushered in the current era. One of Duquette's great trades, too -- only guy in that deal who ever remotely did anything was Pavano.

You forgot Boggs in there.

He carried the Knicks in the late 80s-early-90s, although his style of play wasn't very flashy.

Boggs was a Clydesdale while the other guys are Thoroughbred.

Who wants to be a Clydesdale? Certainly not you.

Sorry, couldn't resist the mention.
