Boston Marathon
Today Boston remembers the 10th anniversary of the Boston bombing with the running of the Boston Marathon and a Boston Red Sox (MLB - Major League Baseball) game after - known as Patriots Day. Former Red Sox player David Ortiz gave a memorable speech after the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, and this year he will serve as the race's grand marshall.
