Sports in Boston
Boston, Massachusetts, is home to several major league sports teams, including the Boston Red Sox (baseball), Boston Celtics (basketball) and Boston Bruins (hockey). The New England Patriots (football) and New England Revolution (soccer) play at Gillette Stadium in nearby Foxborough. Several Boston-area colleges and universities are active in college athletics.
Sports are a major part of the city's culture (as well as the culture of the Greater Boston area). Boston sports fans are known for their fanatical devotion to the Red Sox and knowledge of the team's history. Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox, is the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball (MLB) and holds a legendary status among baseball fans. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://away.com/features/top-ten-baseball-stadiums-1.html )〕 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://baseballstadiums.net/fenway-park/ )〕
In the 2000s, Boston's professional teams had arguably the most successful decade in sports history, winning nine championships (four by the Patriots, three by the Red Sox and one each by the Celtics and Bruins). When the Bruins won the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, the city of Boston became the first city in the 21st century to have all four of its major professional league teams win a league championship, and it is the only city ever to have championships in all four major professional leagues within a ten-year span (from the Patriots' victory in February 2002 to the Bruins' in June 2011). In just ten years, between February 2002 and June 2011, Boston's teams completed what ''Sports Illustrated'' dubbed as the "Grand Slam of North American sports." With the Patriots' victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX, the four major Boston-area sports teams completed a grand-slam in six years (the 2008 Celtics, the 2011 Bruins, the 2013 Red Sox and the 2014 Patriots). Beyond that, several of the teams were league finalists: the Revolution four times, the Patriots twice and the Bruins and Celtics once apiece.
With the Bruins reaching the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, this allowed Boston to join Philadelphia as being the only cities to have had all of their teams play in each of the four major North American professional sports leagues' title rounds since 2000, following the Patriots in Super Bowls XXXVI in 2002, XXXVIII in 2004, XXXIX in 2005, XLII in 2008, XLVI in 2012, and XLIX in 2015, and winning all of them, except Super Bowl XLII and XLVI, the Red Sox winning World Series titles in (ending the Curse of the Bambino), , and , and the Celtics in the NBA Finals in and and winning in 2008.〔 In addition, Boston beat out Philadelphia for playing in all of the "big" league championship rounds in the shortest time in the new millennium, as it took 9 years for Philadelphia to achieve this feat; Boston needed only three years and eight months. From 2004 to 2015, all four Boston major league teams have each reached the championship rounds two times or more.〔
