All in Bruins
When I was a teenager, my brother and I bought our father a Boston Bruins clock that has a Bobby Orr player card laminated on it. It has a little shelf to put other things on it as well. In fact, I think there's a Bruins shot glass that rests on the shelf.
Since he's had the clock, my father has yet to put a battery in it. When he opened up the gift and realized what it was, he turned to us and said, "I'm not putting a battery in the clock until they win the cup."
That, as I mentioned, was 20+ years ago. Every year we talk about the Bruins and my father always says, "This could be the year I put in the battery."
Boston: The home of championsIf you live in the Greater Boston area and you are fan of any one of our professional sports teams, you realize that over the past 10 years or so, we've grown accustomed to winning.
It all started with the improbable 2001-02 Superbowl win of the Patriots, and then back to back Lombardi's just two years later. Then of course, we had the down 0-3 Red Sox who defeated their arch nemesis, the Yankees (or Skankees as I call them), only to sweep the Cardinals in the 2004 World Series. Sox did it again in 2007 by sweeping the Rockies. The next year, in 2008, the Celtics brought home the hardware by defeating their arch nemesis, the Lakers, in one of the most exciting finals in recent history (yes, I'm biased).
