About baz »

Baz82 here. I'm a 26 year old entrepreneur living in Australia, I am an avid sports fan.

Basketball (particularly NBA) & motor sport (F1's my favorite) are my passions, and I consider myself a somewhat informed viewer of both.

I'm new to Bleacher Report - it is unfortunate I wasn't around last year when Fernando and Lewis were battling it out at McLaren - oh the fun we could've had!

Mark Webber, Fernando Alonso, Felipe Massa, Ayrton Senna, Tim Duncan, Dirk Nowitzki & Michael Jordan, oh and Maria Sharapova (obviously for her tennis skills)

Hey Baz, thanks a lot for the praise.

I'm not sure here, but I think I can help you out. They added an apostrophe because the "preached key to success" was Boston's to have. I'm a fairly sure that if you are referring to a city, person, whatever, if they have ownership over the object or idea, you use an apostrophe. However, that rule does not apply to the word "it". The only time you see an apostrophe there is when shortening "it is".

I hope I have helped you, and I also hope I am right, so I don't end up looking stupid. Lol.
