Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Also, I'm not sure I could put Bonds on the list.
I am not familiar enough with the other sports. Are any of those guys known steroids users?
Honestly, I had a bigger issue with Trout than Bonds, more so due to shorter career and fewer accomplishments over, say, Albert Pujols. But I think it's very likely Trout will ultimately be the right choice.
Looking at fWAR over the past 50 years, Bonds is the clear leader with 164.4 and Clemens is second with 133.7.
The only other players with more than 100 are Greg Maddux (116.7), Alex Rodriguez (113.7), Randy Johnson (110.4), Nolan Ryan (106.7), Mike Schmidt (106.5), Rickey Henderson (106.3) and Bert Blyleven (103.3).
Yes, Bert Blyleven, That is not a typo...

He didn’t play football in college. He was drafted by the Vikings though.
Danny Ainge.
Shitty 2b for the Blue Jays
All Star SG for the Celtics
Excellent executive
And then there’s Mark Hendrickson, NBA PF turned crappy LHP for the Orioles.
But really, Bo Jackson and Brian Jordan are the best choices. I believe they are the only two professional athletes ever to be all stars in multiple sports...
