Seven years ago today, the city of Boston was devastated by a cowardly terrorist attack. While it’s a tragic part of our history, the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing serves as a reminder of our resiliency. The Red Sox played a role in helping the city to recover by uniting us with a source to rally behind.
The Red Sox went to Cleveland for a three-game series the day after the marathon bombing, putting some distance between them and the chaos that had engulfed their city. The first game at Fenway Park in the aftermath of the attack was delayed until Saturday of that week when the Red Sox returned home to host the Kansas City Royals.
