The Beanpot

In Boston, the first two Monday nights of February belong to The Beanpot, the annual hockey tournament for city bragging rights between BC, BU, Harvard and Northeastern. The prize awarded to the winner - the Beanpot trophy - is on display at The Sports Museum.

The Boston Garden Penalty Box

When they tore down the old Garden, they presented Terry O'Reilly with his "home away from home" - the Boston Garden penalty box. It was an appropriate gesture toward the man who was the heart and soul of the Lunch Pail A.C.

The Boston Garden Theatre

Here you will see an actual piece of the boards and glass from the old Boston Garden. You can sit in hard wooden chairs from the old Garden and watch highlights on a High Definition TV. There's even an obstructed view seat and a model of the old building. The only thing missing are the peanuts and the Gallery Gods.

The Banners/Arena

The Sports Museum is located within the TD Garden, the arena where the Bruins and Celtics play. High above are the banners capturing 17 World Championships for the Celtics, 6 Stanley Cups for the Bruins, a host of retired numbers, and countless memories.

Larry Bird's Locker

Larry Legend's locker is just one in an exhibit that covers every Celtics Championship era from Bob Cousy to Bill Russell to John Havlicek and more.

Adam Vinatieri's Shoes

Wearing these shoes, Adam Vinatieri kicked the 48-yard game-winning field goal on the final play of Super Bowl XXXVI against the St. Louis Rams, giving the Pats a 20-17 victory and their first Super Bowl title. No one knew it at the time, but it was the birth of a dynasty.

Teddy Ballgame and The Summer of '41

Ted Williams, the man they called "The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived" was larger than life, a John Wayne character in the flesh. During the 1941 season Williams batted .406, the last man to top the .400 mark. He also swatted the home run that won the All Star Game for the American League. That summer also saw Joe DiMaggio embark on his 56-game hitting streak.

The Evolution of Women's Basketball

Back in the 1890s, bloomers were in fashion, but things have changed over the years. See how women's basketball uniforms have evolved to the high tech materials of today.

Boston Redskins

There was football in Boston long before the Patriots. In fact, the Boston Redskins played for the NFL title in 1936. The next year they bolted for the nation's capital, where they have played ever since as the Washington Redskins.

Early Nose Guard

In its early days football was a rough and tumble game played without helmets or much in the way of pads. Early efforts at facial protection included items like this hard rubber nose guard. Causing more injuries than it prevented, it never caught on.

The Ball That Changed History

This is the baseball that struck Boston Red Sox slugger Tony Conigliaro in the eye in August of 1967, derailing a career bound for Cooperstown. Tony C briefly staged a successful comeback but then had to retire for good because of his failing eyesight. Oh, what might have been...

Nancy Kerrigan

Following in the footsteps of Tenley Albright and other great figure skaters from New England, Stoneham's own Nancy Kerrigan won a bronze medal in the 1992 Winter Olympics and a silver medal in the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, finishing second to Oksana Baiul.

World Series Champions

After breaking "The Curse of The Bambino" in 2004 the Red Sox proved that it wasn't a fluke by repeating a World Series Championship in 2007.

The Original Bruin

This stuffed bear cub once graced the offices of owner Charles Adams. It is said that players would rub its head for luck before going in to sign their contracts.
