In a report that is
sure to irk every red-blooded Boston sports fan,
the city has been named as the number two sports city in America. And, yes, your suspicion about who holds down the number one spot is correct—
Baghdad-On-The-Hudson. The ranking comes from some outfit called
"WalletHub"—supposedly using five key "metrics" to gauge who placed where on the list. Filling out the
Top Ten cities
were: 3.) Pittsburgh, 4.) Los Angeles, 5.) Chicago, 6.) Philadelphia, 7.) Washington, DC, 8.) Detroit, 9.) St. Louis and 10.) Denver. To give you an idea of the validity of this process, a separate ranking places Boston as
fifth best for baseball fans—with
Atlanta ranking ahead of us. You mean the city that
barely drew 2,000,000 fans to watch the Braves last year—making them 12th out of 15 National League teams in attendance.
Seriously?
