    • Abstract:
      The Boston Celtics, the sole Boston bright light for most of history, won yet another NBA championship in 2008. The Red Sox have played in four World Series, the Bruins in three Stanley Cup finals, the Celtics in two NBA Finals. I remember typing almost a whole early column about the Red Sox's amazing World Series championship in 1986 on that fateful night in Shea Stadium, and then one thing happened after another on a tiny black-and-white television in the press room, and the column never was sent. PHOTO (COLOR): Many of Boston's greatest athletes, including Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams, never knew that championship feeling. [Extracted from the article]
