4.0 out of 5 stars
The Glory Days of Boston Baseball
This is a very well researched book. The author included a lot of sidebars, photos and illustrations that make it more entertaining. It still has moments when it drags if one attempts to read it straight through, but it is a good coffee table book and fun to browse. Mr. Soos is also the author of an excellent series of baseball related mysteries set from 1912 -1922.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Fills a niche, but not well
For anyone wanting to know more about early baseball in New England this is a helpful addition to the literature, but as another reviewer pointed out it's a weakly written coffee table book. In fact you'd need lots of strong coffee to read it straight through.

This review is from: Before the Curse: The Glory Days of New England Baseball, 1858-1918 (Hardcover)
A very informative work regarding New England base ball. There are numerous pictures, boxscores and newspaper accounts covering college, club and professional base ball.
