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

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.
