In 1975, the Red Sox played in the most-watched World Series in history, an epic seven-game battle with Cincinnati's Big Red Machine that captivated the nation's attention and revived baseball's lagging popularity. '75 tells the stories of the lives of the 37 men who made up the Red Sox roster, from stars like Yaz, Pudge, and El Tiante, to the mop-up men and bench-warmers who were along for the wild ride. A score of authors, researchers, and baseball enthusiasts from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) have collaborated to present these biographies in a single volume.

This review is from: 75: The Red Sox Team that Saved Baseball (Paperback)
This book came about as a result of the hard work of the Boston chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). SABR has a national BioProject underway to write biographies of every person who has ever played the game, or influenced it in any way. SABR Boston chapter member David Southwick came up with the idea of advancing the BioProject's files by undertaking a chapter project to write all the biographies of all the men who played for the 1975 pennant-winning Red Sox. The result of those efforts is this book, which collects the life-stories of every man on the roster, even those who only got one at bat. Many of the players agreed to be interviewed for the project, and the Red Sox opened their archives for photos and memorabilia. The book is beautifully designed with great rare photos and extensively researched by several dozen dedicated writers.
