Baseball - David Ortiz - For doing it in October over maybe the greatest overall hitter ever in Ted Williams
Basketball - Bill Russell - Over Larry Bird for being the greatest leader/winner in sports
Hockey - Bobby Orr - Light years ahead of his time in his sport. Light years ahead of his time as anyone in any sport
Football - Tom Brady - Consistent winner, maximized his abilities, never satisfied, the next championship is as important as the last

Agree with 3 out of your 4 because I think we are from different eras..... which is a nice way of saying you are older than me. I'm going with Larry "Legend" Bird without hesitation. He was amazing.

BTW - I tried doing some of the things Bobby Orr did on skates and it always ended poorly for me.
