Here is the actual photograph behind the Garden Statue. Its significance has been explained in an article by our own sports columnist, Old School. Visit Old School’s website, the one website dedicated solely to Mixed Martial Arts in the NorthEast (New England and New York). Old School’s ranking system is used throughout the northeast to determine which fighters will enter the cage with whom.
One of the funniest questions a tourist asked me out in front of the “new” Boston Garden, (where the very cool looking statue of the great Bobby Orr stands) was, “Why is Larry Bird flying through the air?” LOL!
