The Red Sox game today featured a special event, and no I'm not just talking about Adrain Gonzalez's 1,000 hit, the Boston Bruins were celebrated before the game. The B's had a mini duck tour coming in from the center-field wall and driving around the park before placing the Stanley Cup on the pitchers mound and throwing out a first pitch. It truly is great to see the camaraderie among the Boston Sports.
It is very common for athletes of one team to watch another play. Bill Belichick is a common spectator at Celtics game (all the time during the 2008 NBA Finals Championship). The Celtics also share the TD Garden with the Bruins, athletes as well as team personal frequently watch the other play.
After winning a title in Boston its common place to celebrate by visiting Fenway Park. I remember watching 2002 opening day at Fenway Park and being pleasantly surprised as I saw the Lawyer Milloy come out with the Vince Lombardi. This repeated itself with the two Lombardi, Larry O'Brien, and Stanley Cup trophies following the first Superbowl victory.
This gives Boston an almost college campus feel and not because its home to a 2,356 colleges (might be a a bit of an exaggeration). It remind me of how the college sports will support their counterparts. This makes Boston a special place as each team is cognoscente to the other teams in Boston.
