This week I continue the theme of city sports trivia, this time with Boston. Beantown is home to irritating accents, Sam Adams, and many championship squads. In fact, they have amassed 35 overall championships in the four major sports. However, as usual, they play second fiddle to New York who has 54. See how you do with this Boston Sports Trivia quiz.
