FINAL FOUR:

Some loose criteria:
1. No two Hall of Famers will meet in the first round.
82. No two first round matchups are from the same sport (this could change with play-in candidates).
3. We attemted to mix up eras while ultimately keeping the top seeds separated by era.
While arguments can (and will) be made about the equity of the brackets, we attempted to keep the King of Baltimore Sports competition as fair and interesting as possible.
We hope you enjoy playing and debating the merits of the best that Baltimore’s ever had on the field.
Your votes will determine the winners in every case.
May the best man win!
