With every moment that passes in the wake of Monday’s Boston Marathon bombings, we realize the extent to which a tragic event like this transcends the entire sports world. Rivalries have been put aside and the outcome of games seems to matter much less as the entire country tries to band together and support the city of Boston.
On Tuesday morning, the sports section of the Chicago Tribune paid tribute to Boston with a particularly powerful image:

It’s important for people to carry on living their lives at a time like this, but gestures like the one the Tribune made help the healing process. As I’m sure the victims and their families would tell you, there can never be too much support. Between messages on baseball gloves and unique ways to donate money to the relief fund, the support has already been overwhelming.
