Summary: The Red Sox?
Comment: Are you kidding? People actually write books about one of the worst franchises in the history of sports? Please. The title should be "We are the professional underachievers of the modern era". The Red Sox and the word dreams should never go together in a sentence. Unless of course it's used in the context of destroying people's dreams. That would be correct. If you have any respect for baseball history you should just forget this book. It's a piece of garbage - don't even bother.

Summary: History as it happened.
Comment: This is a great look at the history of the Boston Red Sox through the eyes of writers who covered the team throughout the years. From Babe Ruth to the 1975 series, it's all here. A great book for Sox fans and all baseball fans.

Summary: Can't be Judged by the Cover
Comment: This book is really deceiving. There are tons of Red Sox books out this year and this book is not only the cheapest but the cover, except for the Fisk photo, is sort of a weird color. But it's one of the best Sox books I've ever read. The book is a collection of stories from 1901 until the present written by people covering the Red Sox. About 95% of it was new to me and about 95% of that was great. There are stories about the Red Sox world championships (!!!) in 1903 and 1918, Gammons and Ray Fitzgerald on the 1975 World Series, tons of stuff on the Impossible Dream team and even a really really funny poem about Bill Lee. There's a whole section on Ted Williams and the Jackie Robinson tryout, too. It's sort of like reading Red Sox history as it happened. When I showed it to my Dad he remembered some of the old writers and started telling me stories about them and we stayed up late skimming throuigh the book and talking about them. It was really fun.
