Red Sox Century : The Definitive History of Baseball's Most Storied Franchise, Expanded and Updated

Rating:
Summary: Extraordinary
Review: Short and sweet: an awesome book. Great pictures, great detailed articles. More than just the same tired rehashing of baseball stories. Was a present for a huge Sox fan who knows just abuot everything in baseball history--he called me every day to discuss the new stories... I wanted to say enough already and let me read it when you are done. A can't miss baseball book, not something that you can say everyday.

Summary: Phenomenal!
Review: Stout and Johnson do a remarkable job of chronicaling the most interesting, tragic and misunderstood franchise in baseball history. I have only been a baseball fan since the early 60's but, if the entire book is written with the authenticity of the text covering that era, I can imagine what it must have been like to live through the Williams years, the championships of the teens etc. The authors hit on all the significant exhiliarating and controversial moments of the Bosox with complete candor and truth. This is easily the best book I have ever read concerning the history of a Boston sports team.
