"Whether consciously molding the city through the construction of public spaces or developing social ties through organizations such as athletic clubs, Bostonians of all classes participated in recreation-based community building, often at cross-purposes. Elite Bostonians, for instance, promoted the establishment of parks as a healthy alternative to unsavory activities, such as drinking and gambling, that they associated with the city's vast new pool of immigrants. They were soon forced to compromise, however, with citizens who were less interested in the rhetoric of moral uplift than in using the parks for competitive athletics and commercial amusements."--BOOK JACKET.

How Boston Played is a double delight. It chronicles the birth of Boston sports from early Redstockings games and college rowing regattas, to the exploits of the "Boston Strong Boy," John L. Sullivan. Looking beyond just sporting events, though, it seeks to uncover the sources of the mania for recreation that swept the Hub following the Civil War. As How Boston Played illustrates, the rise of sport is firmly entwined in both the city's development and, more importantly, in a people's search for community. Originally published by Northeastern University Press in 1982. With a new foreword by Mark Herlihy.

He was her first. And she wants him to be her last...A second chance, off-limits novella by USA Today bestselling author Melissa Belle. Brooklyn When I knew him, Duncan was a soccer star. But to me, he was my first love. My only love. Six years ago, he was the boy with the midnight dark hair and impossibly gray-blue eyes I met one summer in Europe. When the world felt dark, Duncan was my light. He kissed me, cared for me, and protected me. And then I went home, and he stayed in Europe to pursue his dreams. I followed my dreams by going to college. And the years passed. Duncan never left my heart, but I didn’t expect to see him again. Because first loves aren’t meant to last… Duncan I was supposed to stay away from Brooklyn. She was too young, too good, and she was only in Paris for a short while. But she got under my skin right away—that brilliant, sassy blonde with the killer smile and long, tanned legs. She twisted my heart into knots and made me want to stay in her arms forever rather than chase my dream. She was like lightning in a bottle—I was sure when she left Paris, I’d missed my chance with her for good. For six years, I was right. Until I agree to take part in a charity soccer game in Boston and a gorgeous blonde with tanned legs runs onto the field to see her cousins who turn out to be three of my closest friends. So Brooklyn is back in my life…but her cousins have warned me off her. She’s like their baby sister and they don’t want to see her hurt. I don’t want to break the bro code. But time is short. And the fire between Brooklyn and me stills burns. And I’m not giving Brooklyn up again…for anyone.

Excerpt from Old Boston Boys and the Games They Played It was agreed with but one emphatic negative that it would be impossible for our old friend to employ successfully the first person Singular, because a long disuse had probably rendered him incapable of rightly spelling that important personal pronoun in all its cases and forms.

One of professional basketball's most iconic franchises, the Boston Celtics—along with the Boston Red Sox and New England Patriots, both of whom have been the subject of "50 Greatest" treatments by sports historian Robert W. Cohen—represent a multistate region rather than just a city or state. Many of the sport's very best have played for the Celtics, including Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, John Havlicek, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Paul Pierce. But who is the greatest of them all? In The 50 Greatest Players in Boston Celtics History, Cohen attempts to determine just that. Using as measuring sticks the degree to which these players impacted the fortunes of the team, the extent to which they added to the Celtics legacy, and the levels of statistical compilation and overall dominance they attained while wearing a Celtics uniform, this book ranks, from 1 to 50, the top 50 players in team history. Quotes from opposing players and former teammates are provided along the way, as are summaries of each player’s greatest season, most memorable performances, and most notable achievements.
