Description

Relive the unprecedented twenty-year era of dominance that transformed Boston into the modern sports capital of the world.

In This Is Our City, veteran sports columnist and top-rated New England radio host Tony Massarotti delivers an insider's account of how Boston captured twelve major titles across twenty seasons.

Massarotti reveals how the Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, and Bruins crossed organizational lines to fuel, challenge, and inspire one another—from the arrival of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick to the Celtics' "Big Three," the Bruins' gritty Stanley Cup run, and David Ortiz’s defiant post-Marathon bombing rally cry that gave the city its ultimate identity.

Written with the sharp insight and unfiltered passion that defines Boston sports culture, this volume captures the heartbreaks, triumphs, and defining cultural shifts of a golden age.

Inside This Volume:

  • The Synergy of Titletown: An examination of how cross-franchise culture, high-stakes competition, and legendary talent pushed all four teams to peak performance.
  • Crucial Moments & Cultural Touchstones: Deep-dive reporting on iconic turnarounds, dramatic postseason victories, and the pivotal civic events—from 9/11 to the Boston Marathon recovery—that tied the region together through sports.
  • Front-Row Perspective: Eyewitness reporting and sharp analysis from one of Boston’s most trusted sports media voices.

"If anybody is qualified to riff about Boston sports in the last twenty years, it's Tony Massarotti... This wonderful book will bring back all those great memories."Chris "Mad Dog" Russo
