Great Day in Boston Team Sports

Yesterday was quite a day for Boston team sports. First of all, the great, modest and classy Bobby Orr, who led the Boston Bruins to Stanley Cup titles in 1970 and 1972, was featured on the national show, “CBS Sunday Morning.”

Perhaps that was an omen as both the (5-1) New England Patriots and the Boston Red Sox pulled out miracle wins led by multi-championship winning Boston sports stars.

Tom Brady, who has been the quarterback on 3 Pats Super Bowl winners, engineered a 70 yard, one minute eight second touchdown drive, without any time outs.

It culminated with a game winning pass to Kenbrell Thompkins, with 5 seconds left in the game. The Pats win in the last minute was against the previously unbeaten New Orleans Saints.

The Red Sox then topped that by overcoming a (5-1) eighth inning deficit in a near “must win” game two of the ALCS vs the Detroit Tigers.

David Ortiz, an integral part of the only two Red Sox World Series winners in the previous 94 seasons, hit a game tying grand slam home run with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning. Boston won (6-5) scoring a run in the bottom of the ninth inning.

The series is now tied at one game apiece with the next three games to be played in Detroit.
