Boston Sports Icons FREE Sports Icons Series Sports Comic Book Copyright 2015 | 2nd Edition 2016 By Jim Sweeney Over 200 years ago, Boston boasted its place as the cradle of American liberty. But today, the city is celebrated as an American sports capitol. To many sports fans – especially those in New England - Boston is considered the greatest sports town in the United States. It has earned the enviable moniker by emerging as a sports mecca that produces Hall of Fame athletes and championship professional teams. Once renowned for the revolutionary site of the Boston Tea Party and the courageous midnight ride of Paul Revere, Boston’s current popularity is rivaled by its retinue of noteworthy athletic accomplishments. Boston sports fans proudly rave about their title winning home town teams the Celtics, the Bruins, the Red Sox and the Patriots. Also rich in academia, this vibrant New England city lays claim to some of the most prestigious halls of higher learning. These schools have fathered Heads of State, Nobel Laureates and Captains of Industry. Despite its historic, academic, political and business laurels, today’s Boston may still be better loved for its sports-centric culture. The Hub City cherishes not only historic Faneuil Hall and the legendary Old North Church. With a regional pride that runs deep in athletics, it also venerates the hallowed sports venues of Fenway Park and the old Boston Garden. To honor its rich sports heritage, I’ve penned this FREE sports comic book to acknowledge my top Boston Sports Icons. The FREE book recognizes Boston’s most famous jocks as well as its most revered sports landmarks. As a Boston sports lover, you will: Remember the championship banners hanging from the rafters at the old Boston Garden and never forget the amazingly preserved environs of fabulous Fenway Park. Read about the quick, diminutive Heisman Trophy winning quarterback and the big, beefy Dominican slugger who corned the market on DH awards in baseball. Reminisce about the Beanpot, the most storied college hockey tournament of all-time, and ruminate over Heartbreak Hill, the running world’s most daunting and rarified piece of real estate. Recite the incredible football feats of a brilliant Ugg wearing QB named Brady who sports movie star looks and a supermodel wife. Relive the glory days of the Celtics’ beloved basketball playing Bird. Revel in the extraordinary feats of Red Sox immortal Carl Yastrzemski. And, remember the Bruins’ incomparable Bobby Orr - the best professional hockey player Boston has ever produced. Lastly, as a bonus, you’ll recall the self-serving antics of Boston’s most famous fictional athlete, Sam Malone, who surprisingly transformed into a national television celebrity.

Since 1897, the Boston Marathon has been recognized as the world’s oldest and most revered long distance running race. Sprinting in as my #10 choice in Boston Sports Icons may be viewed as an unexpected entry because it doesn’t qualify as a player, team or momentous moment in sports. However, whenever iconic Boston sports games, moments or sights are discussed, Heartbreak Hill inevitably surfaces in conversation. Arguably the most famous piece of running real estate in the world, Heartbreak Hill separates excellent long distance runners from the truly elite. On Patriots Day each spring, Heartbreak Hill entertains teeming crowds of New England spectators who watch 20,000+ runners courageous enough to scale it. The series of hills that actually comprise Heartbreak Hill appears after Boston marathoners have covered their first 20 miles of the race. Amateur and professional runners who complete the 26.2 mile course each year suffer from more than dehydration, sore knees and blistered feet. Boston Marathon runners can get their hearts broken at this spot on the hilly course where they first catch glimpse of the finish line. Located along Commonwealth Avenue in Newton, an affluent suburb of Boston, Heartbreak Hill is the fourth in a series of shorter rolling hills, none rising more than 90 feet in elevation. Heartbreak Hill’s peak stands at only 236 feet above sea level, but its unexpected, 800 feet gradual scale surprises participants with another late climb. Around the 20 mile mark, marathoners typically find themselves warding off the physical challenge of “hitting the wall.” In the case of the Boston Marathon, runners hit Heartbreak Hill. The nickname originated in 1936 during a surprise lead change at the 21st mile mark of the race. Boston Globe’s Jerry Nason reported that eventual champion Ellison Brown streaked past the front-runner and reigning champion John Kelley. This lead change took place after Kelley already passed him on one of the previous hills and extended an encouraging tap on his shoulder. Brown’s sudden surge supposedly broke Kelley’s heart and the Heartbreak Hill nickname was born. It marked the exchange of fate for a former, reigning champion and the name became forever synonymous with this legendary location. Over the years, many broken-hearted runners have succumbed to Boston Marathon’s biggest obstacle. However, serious runners from around the globe continue to prepare annually to scale and overcome this daunting and legendary challenge. That’s why Heartbreak Hill effortlessly runs away with the #10 spot in Boston Sports Icons. MIKE - thee ultimate talking head on sports! My #9 choice in Boston Sports Icons almost never got the chance to prove what he could do on the football field with a pig skin in his hand. Boston College was the only Division I school to recruit the 5’9” and 175 lb. Doug Flutie and offer him an athletic scholarship. Diminutive by big time college football quarterback standards, Flutie didn’t have to wait long to prove to skeptics that he was a natural leader and an elite playmaker. During an October 1981 game against Penn State, Flutie seized the opportunity as a fourth string freshman QB when unexpectedly called on in the fourth quarter during a blowout loss. Flutie surprisingly passed for 135 yards in less than 15 minutes and showed uncommon cool and amazing athleticism for a freshman. Following the Penn State game and for the rest of his Boston College career, Flutie started every game as QB. Along with Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons, Doug Flutie ranks as the most celebrated athlete in Boston College history. The 1984 Heisman Trophy winner also received the two other most prestigious college football honors that same year. Flutie won the Davey O’Brien Award as the nation’s top quarterback and the Maxwell Award as the top overall college football player. In addition to his athletic achievements on the football field, Flutie’s alma mater recognized his academic excellence in the classroom by nominating him for a Rhodes Scholarship. Doug Flutie finished his storied career in New England as Boston College’s all-time leading passer with 10,579 yards. He is probably best remembered for his improbable pass in the old Orange Bowl in Miami in November 1984. During a high scoring, rain-soaked game, a scrambling Flutie threw a desperation pass more than 60 yards on the game’s final possession. Flutie’s Hail Mary pass found wide receiver Gerard Phelan in the end zone to give the Eagles a thrilling 47 – 45 victory over the favored Miami Hurricanes. Flutie’s amazing pass is often remembered as one of the most incredible plays of all-time in any sport. Boston College may have retired Doug Flutie’s #22 jersey, but the little quarterback’s legacy still looms large on the school’s campus. A bronze life-size Doug Flutie statue greets fans as they enter Boston College’s Alumni Stadium to remind them of the always improvising, highly elusive, under-sized quarterback. Now, a polished and extremely insightful broadcaster for NBC Sports, Doug Flutie will always be remembered for his magical days as a truly talented and poised 5’9” quarterback at Boston College. That’s why he didn’t need to scramble out of the pocket for the #9 place in Boston Sports Icons. MIKE – thee ultimate talking head on sports! The nickname “Papi” translates in multiple ways within the Hispanic community. Several recognized G-rated definitions are: father, daddy, attractive man, affectionate pet name for a young boy, leading member of a gang and alpha male. In Major League Baseball circles however, there exists only one instantly recognizable reference to “Papi.” The endearing name belongs to Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz.

    DETERMINING THE TOP ALL-TIME COLLEGE COACHES THROUGH MARKOV CHAIN-BASED RANK AGGREGATION MELISSA JAY, VENKATASAI GANESH KARAPAKULA, AND EMMA KRAKOFF Abstract. We develop a mathematical model that determines the \best all-time college coach(es)" of the past century in a given sport. We propose ranking college coaches through Markov chain- based aggregation of ranked lists using holistic criteria. Our model synthesizes four full or partial ranked lists based on win percentages, victories, career durations, and effort levels to produce the final comprehensive rankings. As a demonstration, we determine that Ron Mason, Augie Garrido, and Gus Donoghue are the top all-time college coaches of the past century in NCAA Division I men's ice hockey, baseball, and men's soccer, respectively. Our general model is applicable not only across all possible sports but also to both male and female coaches. Additionally, it accounts for differences among coaches in their coaching time-periods.
