Whether rediscovering the best team moments, or initiating into the
histories and traditions of Red Sox fandom, this book about the Boston
Red Sox is both a useful resource and cherishable memorabilia. Packed
with anecdotes of past and current players, explanations about the
beginnings of rivalries and traditions, detailed histories about the
greatest players and moments in the franchise's history, lists of the
greatest teams ever, and year-by-year statistics, this collectible book
is the primary source for anyone eager to be an expert regarding
anything about the Red Sox. The book captures the essence of Boston's
pride: Ted Williams' home run for his final at-bat, Curt Schilling's
bloody sock, the Pesky Pole, the Green Monster, the Rocket striking out
20 batters, Carlton Fisk waving his home run fair, and, of course,
overcoming a 3-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees en route to
Boston's first World Series title since 1918.
