This Is Our City: Four Teams, Twelve Championships, and How Boston Became the Most Dominant Sports City in the World

Summary

A CELEBRATION OF TWO DECADES OF SPORTS SUCCESS IN BOSTON FROM THE COHOST OF THE #1 SPORTS RADIO SHOW IN NEW ENGLAND

In Boston, sports loyalty—and passion—runs deep. But for much of the twentieth century, the records of the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots were mixed, with some victories but also heartbreaking losses and endless talk of curses. And then, things changed. In the twenty-first century, Boston became the hub of the sports universe. This Is Our City, by longtime Boston sports columnist and radio host Tony Massarotti, is a portrait of the past two decades, a chronicle of players and rivalries and how one team’s success led to the next. From Brady and Belichick to the Celtics’ Big Three, from Big Papi to the Big Bad Bruins, this was a special time. And Boston’s run played out against major events, including 9/11 and the devastating Boston Marathon bombing, adding emotional punch to tough losses and all those victories. Massarotti’s This Is Our City is a valentine to Boston sports and a comprehensive story of a remarkable run.
