The Best Of The Bunch!,
By Mike King "Mike Vegas King" (Taunton, MA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curse Reversed: The 2004 Boston Red Sox (Paperback)
I have read every publication on the 2004 Boston Red Sox I could get my hands on, from rush jobs printed by no-name magazines, to publications put out by Sports Illustrated, the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald. In my opinion, "Curse Reversed" by the Sporting News is the best of the bunch. The format is in chronological order, the writing is first rate, and the photographs are outstanding. The first chapter briefly covers the Red Sox's World Series championships in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916 and 1918. This is followed by every regular season game against their rivals, the New York Yankees. In addition to descriptions of every game, accompanied by great action photos, important dates throughout the regular season are included, with a brief description of what happened on that date.The second half of the book details every game of the Second Season: the Division Series versus the Anaheim Angels, the American League Championship Series against the New York Yankees, and the World Series versus the St. Louis Cardinals. The book ends with a game-by-game log of every regular season game, including a brief summation of each game. For a fitting quote to close with, I have to go back to the introduction. "The Curse? Swept away. The Yankees? Kicked to the side. It was a memorable climax to a memorable Red Sox season - one that brought tears to grandfathers and fathers and sons alike. This time, those were tears of joy." I can heartily recommend this book to every member of Red Sox Nation!
