Andrew Rockett has functioned as managing partner at Rockett Real Estate Investments, LLC, since 2010. Based out of New Bedford, Massachusetts, Andrew Rockett is an avid fan of several New England sports teams, including the Boston Red Sox and the New England Patriots.
Despite being only America’s 10th-busiest metro area, Boston has developed a rich tradition of garnering professional sports championships dating back several decades and enduring through the present day. With the Boston Red Sox winning the 2013 World Series, the city’s total haul rose to 35, second only to New York City. Though New York teams have combined for a total of 52 championships, it should be noted that its market is about seven times as large and supports twice as many teams.
The Red Sox represent both the modern state of Boston sports--with two additional World Series wins coming in 2004 and 2007--and the city’s successful past, having lifted the first-ever World Series trophy in 1903. The Celtics are another Boston team to have enjoyed success as recently as 2008, though the team is more remembered throughout the city for having won nine of their 17 championships in just 13 years between 1957 and 1969, including a record streak of eight in a row. The Boston Bruins, meanwhile, have recorded six Stanley Cup victories, including a win in 2011, while the New England Patriots won their first three Super Bowls in a four-year span between 2001 and 2004.
