Life as a Boston Sports Fanatic- Celtics Championship Parade
We are at the BOSTON CELTICS CHAMPIONSHIP PARADE! At first, I wanted to watch it by the TD Garden. But with a few things that happened, we had to make a move and we ended up front row on Boylston Street with a phenomenal view of the Celtics celebrating their 18th banner! This was an unreal run and an unforgettable season! Time for the road to banner 19 to begin!
Life as a Boston Sports Fanatic- Celtics Edition
THEY DID IT! THE BOSTON CELTICS ARE YOUR 2024 NBA WORLD CHAMPIONS! Not only did the Boston Celtics win the NBA Championship, BUT I WAS THERE TO CAPTURE THE MOMENT FOR YOU GUYS! I had some issues with a certain second market ticket agency during this game but we made it work! BANNER 18 IS HERE! Enjoy the moment from inside the TD Garden!
Life as a Boston Sports Fanatic- Bruins Edition
At first, I was going to hold off because of the past few disappointing postseasons for the Bruins. But I am GLAD I went to this game. The Boston Bruins open up the 2024 NHL Playoffs with a massive win against the rival Toronto Maple Leafs! It was a physical game throughout, but with 2 goals from Jake Debrusk, and a huge performance from Jeremy Swayman, the Boston Bruins pulled off a blowout win against the Maple Leafs to give them a 1-0 series lead!
Life as a Boston Sports Fanatic- Patriots Edition
It was a big day in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The NFL season is underway and not only are the New England Patriots back, but Tom Brady is back as well! The Patriots have decided to give Brady a farewell ceremony to thank him for all he has done for the organization and for an amazing career. It was great to see TB12 back in a Pats uniform during the ceremony rather than a Buccaneers jersey last time we saw him. As for the game, it was the Philadelphia Eagles vs the New England Patriots. New England fell into an early 16-0 deficit and came back to make it a close game down to the wire. Although 1 mistake ended up costing them a miracle comeback to the reigning NFC champs as the Patriots fall 25-20 in week 1. Mac Jones looked great, Kendrick Bourne looked great, and the formula on offense worked for the most part! There should definitely be some optimism for this team this season!
Life as a Boston Sports Fanatic- Red Sox Edition
Mookie Betts returns to Fenway for the first time since being dealt to the Dodgers in 2020! Mookie Betts led off the game and he was received with a standing ovation and the Fenway Faithful was loud for him. He tipped his helmet to the fans and embraced the love that he received. It was an entertaining game as many Dodger fans came into town to represent the away team. Alex Verdugo who was a part of the Mookie Betts trade homered to begin the bottom of the first inning. Trevor Story would also get his first home run of the season, but it was all Dodgers after that. Mookie ended the night going 1-4 with a double and he also threw out a runner to end the 8th. Along with Betts returning, Kike Hernandez, and Ryan Brasier made their returns to Fenway also! The Dodgers ended up winning this game on a final of 7-4. It was great to see Mookie Betts back at Fenway as he was one of my favorite players I have ever watched. We miss you Mookie and you will always be loved here in Boston.
