Red Sox Nation: An Unexpurgated History Of The Red Sox

For baseball enthusiasts everywhere, the names of the greatest Boston Red Sox are synonymous with the game itself: Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove, Dom DiMaggio, Carl Yastrzemski, Johnny Damon, and so many more.

Red Sox Nation is the finest, most comprehensive history of this storied franchise, told from the point of view of the people who lived it. From every disappointment to each triumph, culminating with the 2004 world championship, Red Sox Nation takes you into the dugout and onto the field to relive each moment. more

Interesting story but the book is a rough draft

Half the book are quotations, and some quotations run for pages and pages. In my opinion, that's unprofessional. It's like the author published his rough draft. He must have been paid by the word.

A great book

When I finished "Red Sox Century" of Glenn Stout, I felt that no book could match that strong, accurate telling.But... "Red Sox Nation" could do it. And add to it a "happy end".Highly recommended.
