After all, how does one compare Ted Williams to Bill Russell or Bobby Orr to Tom Brady? ML Football gave it a shot on Monday, ranking the top 10 best Boston athletes of all time. Given that the list had multiple names misspelled, it probably shouldn't be taken too seriously.
However, at least one Boston sports legend did not appreciate getting left off the list. On X, Roger Clemens replied to ML Football's post with a thinking face emoji. Of the four Boston Red Sox players on the list, he was not one of them.
