Summary: Interesting Red Sox stories
Comment: It isn't necessary to be a Red Sox fan to enjoy reading this book. It's good to read of the crazy stunts that some of the ball players pulled. I remember a lot of the older players like Ted Williams and Pesky and more of that era. VERY GOOD READING!!
Rating: 5
Summary: I love Nomar!
Comment: I love Nomar Garciaparra, and the cover shot of him and Pedro Martinez alone is worth the price of the book. The photo, the articles about him, and his back-cover endorsement of the book made me buy it. But I soon realized there is a lot more to this book! As a relatively young Red Sox fan, it made me realize that the Bosox have a long, colorful, and very funny history. I would highly recommend this book to all Red Sox fans! In fact all baseball fans will enjoy this book.

Summary: For Baseball followers everywhere
Comment: Baseball's history is replete with many colorful characters, towering heroes, magnificent records and streaks of fortune, both good and ill. Certainly the Boston Red Sox have had more than their share. I found "Tales from the Red Sox Dugout" highly informative and entertaining. It's clear that author Jim Prime and his colleague Bill Nowlin have a deep love for this team, its history and many of the players that have made the Sox legendary.
The book is a collection of summaries, ordered alphabetically by player. Each summary includes background on the player, information on their accomplishments and one or more very amusing anecdotes. Several sections are well illustrated by Bob Jackson - you can see almost see the ball reflected in Carlton Fisk's eyes as it flies down the left field line. Perhaps its my bias as a baseball fan, but this sport seems to produce more laugh-out-loud stories than any other I can think of.
Buy and read this book - you'll learn why the mouth of Pedro Martinez may be as formidable as his right arm; why it's a good thing that GQ did not publish during the career of Carl Yaztrzemksi; why Bill Lee finds Gerbils praiseworthy; what might happen if the Splendid Splinter were to face the Big Unit. You will also learn about the humanity of several players and about their personal efforts in regards to the Jimmy Fund that helps young cancer victims in New England. The section on Ted Williams obviously reflects the passions of the authors and it's clear that the commitment to the team and players continues in their profile of Nomar Garciaparra.
Highly recommended that you add this book to your baseball collection.
