Speaker 4

The Ocean County Sheriff's Department using its own drone to investigate. The FBI also getting involved here, saying less than one

hundred of five thousand tips required further investigation. Federal officials reaffirming there is no obvious threat or criminal activity, but also admitting there are drones flying over New Jersey that cannot be identified and calling the public responds a slight overreaction, and a Homeland Security official says the drone sightings highlight a gap in counter drone authority.

Speaker 2

That's ABC's Reno Roy reporting here in Massachusetts last night, there was a drone spotted over Boston Harbor near the JFK Presidential Library. CBS News Boston obtaining audio of Boston Police's response.

Boston added a new championship banner this year, but did you know we should have one more?

Speaker 6

One hundred and twenty years ago, the Boston Red Sox were known as the Boston Americans, and they were fresh off winning the first ever World Series title, but they never got a chance to defend it. That's because the New York Giants refused to play the World Series that year. Their owner was afraid of losing to an upstart American League team, and because the World Series wasn't a yearly event yet, there was no World Series at all. Therefore

there was no champion. But Sports museum curator Richard Johnson thinks otherwise.

Speaker 7

Should they be considered the World Champions? Absolutely?

Speaker 6

I mean, if one team is ready to play and the other refuses to do so, the team that would play should get it right. Well, the league does not recognize them as the champs, but the fans still rewarded their pennant winning team that year.

Speaker 7

But the fans, in typical fashion back then, got behind their team, held a banquet, gave a trophy to player manager Jimmy Collins.

Speaker 6

They're still Champs in our Hearts from the City of Champions, Kyle Bray, WBZ Boston's News Radio.
