The Celtics were the top Boston sports team when I was growing up...Bruins with Orr and his team mates gave Boston fans some quality seasons in the late 60's early 70's but only won 2 Stanley Cups......Seems like they were the bridesmaids alot during the 70's.......The Red Sox, even with Williams and then Yaz never quite made the grade.....lost the one WS they were in 4-3.
Pats were not even in the running as alot of games were blacked out locally due to empty seats whn they fnally did get their own stadium (Shaeffer).....
