The past decade’s greatest Boston sports moments (Associated Content)
The histories of Boston's sports franchises are no less storied and remarkable than that of the city itself. Few Americans would deny that although Boston has not always been the most formidable presence in major league sports, it has unquestionably become one of the great sports cities in the country.
