          Have you ever seen this logo before? Also, do you know this team and which state of America own this team? I will not make you guys say “I don’t know anything about this team”. The Boston Red Sox is professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts and a member of MLB’s American league, East division. Because a lot of Japanese baseball player like Matsuzakaand Tazawa were transferred to this team, Boston Red Sox is one of the most popular team in Japan. Before this team was created, there were baseball teams called “Red stockings” in Boston, but around 1908, because the name sounded weird and weak, one man “John Taylor” changed the name to “Red Sox” and became the owner of this team. Red Sox decided their rival team as New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox was doing pretty good job from 5 years ago, but every time, old good players retired and quiet their baseball player life, this team got weaker and weaker and now, it is hard to say Boston Red Sox is the rival team of NYY. From NYY fan’s perspective, Red Sox is not real rival team anymore. In addition, Red Sox’s team color is red, navy and white so they have pretty cool uniforms and team logo and I personally like it.



If I start to talk about baseball team, I will keep talking about this team, so let me introduce about Boston.



 



 

 

          As everyone knows, Boston is the capital of state “Massachusetts” and it is the largest city in this state. Back in 1630, some British people who were looking for new land arrived to western coast of U.S. and made one place which is now Boston as their outlets. At that time, they created the port in Boston and traded with home country Britain. Thus, although America became independent of Britain, Massachusetts especially Boston is still one of the most important city in America for trading. In Boston, there is world famous University “Harvard” and this university is the 1^st university which is built in U.S. Not Harvard is the university in Boston. A lot of famous universities are in Boston and state of Massachusetts. Medical service, investigation, electronics, engineering, financing and technology especially biotechnology is supporting the economy of Boston. Because of the city “Boston” is very famous, I have nothing to tell about, but one thing I surprised that Kyoto is the twin’s city of Boston. More information will be discovered if you also search about Kyoto city.
