With the "Curse" a distant memory, the Boston Red Sox are the first team
this century to win three World Series titles. Before 2004, an obnoxious
Yankees fan might have smirked: The Red Sox in the World Series? The
world's shortest book!"
In actual fact, the Red Sox have played in twelve World Series and won
eight. Even during their stories 86-year drought, the Sox took four
Series to Game Seven before losing.
Lavishly illustrated, From the Babe to the Beards is the result of
another collaboration by Bill Nowlin and Jim Prime--each with more than
a dozen Sox books to their credit. The book includes full game accounts
of every one of the 74 Series games played (to date) and profiles a
significant player from each game. Supplemented with dozens of photos
and line scores from every game, the book will provide a solid and
eminently readable companion as the team prepares for additional Series
in the years to come.
