Product Description:
As John Cheever declared, 'all literary men are Red Sox fans' -and certainly no baseball team has inspired more eloquence than the storied Sox. The best of those stories reside here, celebrating the team's highs, from the pennant races through the careers of Williams, Yaz, and Boggs, and eulogizing its most poignant lows, from the loss of Ruth to the ball that rolled through Buckner's legs.

This is a wonderful collection and I picked it up again on the night of 10/27/04. One of the many books I have about the Red Sox which are now, blissfully, out of date! This collection has such fine writing and it certainly captures that "old" feeling that this team was never going to get it all done, somehow. Hub fans bid curse adieu!

Red Sox Reader is a wonderful collaboration of the best articles written on the Sox. It includes stories from the most significant events in Sox history, ranging the Babe's move to the Yanks to the 1986 Series. It also includes an interview with Bill Lee, a couple of articles by the editor (who was an English teacher in my hometown for years), and perhaps the greatest article on a Boston event - "Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu" by John Updike. I would recommend this book to any Boston fan who appreciates good writing.
