Best Boston Sports Arguments

From the Introduction: On the following pages, you will find the 100 best arguments in Boston sports history. Which is to say, the only sports arguments that really matter. We mean, c'mon. Sure, fans are passionate about sports all over the country, but could you get anywhere near as many good, well-rounded sports arguments going in, say, Tampa Bay? "Who's the greatest Devil Ray in history, Fred McGriff or Randy Winn?" Or what about Phoenix? How much could winning the World Series in 2001 have really meant to those guys given that they didn't even have a team until 1998? Sure, they had to put up with Buck Showalter and his ego, but what sort of real pain could they have endured in just four seasons? "Man, remember that one day in 1999 when it was, like, 85 degrees outside and the UV Index was 8.5 and they didn't close the roof?" That's the beauty of Boston sports. Boston has history. And we're not talking about the "Here's the Granary Burial Ground where founding fathers John Hancock and Samuel Adams are buried" crapola they feed you on the Freedom Trail tour. We're talking about real history. The important stuff.Caple, Jim is the author of 'Best Boston Sports Arguments ', published 2006 under ISBN 9781402208225 and ISBN 1402208227.
