About Boston Sports

Boston suffered through a sports depression in the '90s. It was not so much that every team was bad every year, but every sports season seemed to hold few bright spots. The Boston Red Sox were still tormenting fans at Fenway Park with an inability to get back to the World Series. This coupled with the New York Yankees new dynasty left fans angry.

The New England Patriots could not win a Super Bowl, not even with the Big Tuna running the team, although the change from last pace to contender was a nice change. The Bruins had up and down years that left fans wondering what would happen next, wondering if they should invest their time and their emotions in a team that only seemed to tease. The Celtics suffered through an awful decade. The death of Reggie Lewis, the next ordained star of the Celtics, left the team reeling after Larry Bird could play no longer with his bad back.

This new century has given the city of Boston a sports renaissance. The Red Sox have two World Series (to the Yankees zero) and are always in the pennant race. Boston Celtics tickets managed to reach the edge of obscurity, but Danny Ainge saved his job and the city's basketball following by trading for Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett to play with Paul Pierce when many though Pierce was leaving and the Celtics would have to regroup again.

The New England Patriots could not become a staple among the NFL elite every season under Bill Parcells, but they finally found the right man in Bill Belichick. Belichick has been the genius behind a team that found its way with a no name quarterback (Tom Brady) and a purely team concept that consistently brings the best veterans together for a march toward the Super Bowl.

For all the cities success, the Bruins have yet to win a championship, but if this decade continues to be as generous to Boston sports fans then a Stanley Cup is not far behind.
