The 2004 Boston Red Sox.
Just announced on Fox a few moments ago. I'll have some thoughts momentarily.
UPDATE: After pulling off the greatest postseason comeback in baseball history, it's impossible to call the Red Sox undeserving of the honor. But perhaps we shouldn't forget that Boston started the 2004 season with the second highest payroll in baseball, so seeing them win the World Series in the end shouldn't have been all that surprising.
So, as far as I'm concerned, Pat Tillman is my Sportsman of the Year.
When it came to fan voting, the Red Sox didn't even finish in the top three, with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, Lance Armstrong and Pat Tillman taking the top three spots.
I think it all depends on the criteria. If character and off the field contributions are an important consideration then Pat Tillman should win in a landslide. If performance on the field is the only criterion then Phelps, Armstrong or Barry Bonds would all be good choices for their unprecedented achievements. I don’t really think that a team like the Red Sox deserves this award.
