What about Tiger Woods winning a Major on a fractured leg and torn up knee, limping around the course and still gutting out a victory with amazing shots? Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Really being a Boston fan, the Patriots in 01-02 was amazing for me. No Boston team had won anything since the '86 Celtics 15 years before and the Pats had virtually no real stars and a 6th round QB off the bench! That Super Bowl run elevated a bunch of never-heard-of-thems to household names. And that playoff run from the improbable snow bowl, to Bledsoe coming off the bench and tossing a TD to Patton in the Pittsburg game, to Brady's drive and Vinatieri's kick to finish the Big Game, it was all amazing. And after that Boston fans believed that they could have winning teams again, and in a small way galvanized the Red Sox to finally get over the hump in '04 (which incidentally had the best ALCS ever).
