Description

Boston is a unique sports city. Unlike New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago, New Englanders' loyalties are not divided among competing franchises; in the four major American sports, the city has one team each: the Red Sox, the Celtics, the Bruins, and the Patriots.

In This Is Our City, Tony Massarotti explores the deep-rooted sports culture of Boston and how it shapes the identity and solidarity of its residents. From storied victories to heart-wrenching defeats, the book delves into what makes Boston's teams—and their loyal fans—exceptional in the world of sports.
