    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The Boston Red Sox, a big bowl of bad, were never any good, and they were constantly cannon fodder for the New York Yankees. The Red Sox never won a World Series since 1918, when Babe Ruth roamed the Fenway lawn.

    #2 The Boston Celtics are the prime example of how New Englanders have been title deprived. The team has never won a championship, but they have been champions almost every year since the 1950s.

    #3 The Auerbach-Russell Celtics were a model team that produced a nightly clinic of team-over-self basketball. They were lean and hungry, and they preached fast break offense at all times.

    #4 The Celtics were the first team in the NBA to integrate racially, drafting the first Black player in 1950. They were also the first team to integrate successfully, and no one was offended when Auerbach made references to blacks in a positive light.
