You rank the top sports stories

The most difficult debate in creating the Boston.com list was the top two slots -- the lowest of lows for the Red Sox vs. the highest of highs for the Bruins. So if you disagree, we understand. That's why we've created a special page for you to rank the stories as you see fit, and it'll track the overall input from readers that will let us see which story is No. 1 for a majority of readers.

Thanks for reading, and Happy New Year, sports fans.
