Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 158066024X, Paperback)

The author expands his popular oral history of the Olde Towne Team with new material from new interviews with players, sportswriters and fans from the past to the present. Over 25,000 sold in hardcover and many more in paper, this Studs Terkel-esque classic is an exuberant, engrossing, frank, exploration of a team like no other. The Boston Red Sox, beloved from Maine to Cambridge to expatriate enclaves across the country, are a source of explosive joy and despair for fans for whom hope and disappointment are inextricably joined.

The names ring down the years: Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Lefty Grove, Bobby Doerr, Jimmie Foxx, Jim Piersall, Jackie Jensen, Dom DiMaggio. And certain moments-Williams's last at bat, Carlton Fisk's Sixth Game homer, Bill Buckner's fatal error-have become indelible parts of baseball memory. Relive it all by talking to those who were there!
