5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book on a great team
I have been a Red Sox fan for many years. I stood by them despite their losses and what not. The last reviewer is immature. Barry Bonds doesn't like the Red Sox, well Bonds IMHO is a steroid abusing loser who treats his fans like dirt and is a sucker waiting for a fall. The Sox are going to win the World Series finally.

Dubious... Caveat Emptor, Sox fans.
The statistical side is nothing special, with info you could get from The Baseball Encyclopedia or a host of great (and thorough) websites. The most glaring red flag was its description of the '78 playoff game, in which the author claims Bucky Dent hit his homer tying the game at 3-3. Anyone with a modicum of baseball knowledge knows the Sox had a 2-0 lead at that point...

Anyone with a modicum of baseball knowledge knows the Sox had a 2-0 lead at that point and Dent's homer put the Yanks ahead. If Mr. Gentile can't be bothered to research that correctly, then what else has he gotten wrong? Nope, avoid this and go read David Halberstam, Thomas Boswell or Roger Angell. In fact, read all of them and feed your soul.
