A celebration of the last two decades of sports success in Boston from the co-host of the #1 sports radio show in New England.
Description
"A celebration of the past two decades of Boston sports. In Boston, sports loyalty -- and passion -- runs deep, with one team in each of the four major American professional leagues: The Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Patriots have long commanded undivided attention. But for much of the twentieth century, the records of the local teams were mixed, with some victories but also heartbreaking losses and endless talk of curses. And then, things changed. Over the past twenty years, Boston has been blessed with an extraordinary run of success, including twelve championships, seven runners-up, and many more years of heated contention. In the twenty-first century, Boston became the Hub of the sports universe"--Dust jacket.
