After the great worst to first finish of the Red Sox this season,  you might want to read this book in order to brush up on your Red Sox history.
Jim Prime and Bill Nowlin have written a celebrated book on just what it is like to be part of the history making Boston Red Sox.  The book contains many short stories from the players to fans and even regales some interesting anecdotes from the beloved Fenway mascot Wally.
Whether you’re a diehard Red Sox fan or just a fan that jumps on the bandwagon during the playoff season, you will love the funny yet informative stories that this book has to offer. You will read stories about some of the Red Sox greats like Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski. There are 194 tales in all, and you won’t be disappointed in any of them. They are truly interesting stories containing facts, quotes and more.
You find yourself becoming more and more amazed by the stories in this book because it doesn’t have only the best Red Sox players, it has players who were funny, inspiring or, in Bill Buckner’s case, reviled after his World Series blowing blunder. Prime and Nowlin use humor and great writing to tell the stories of past and present Red Sox players. At the end of the book you will find extra information like jokes and some of the lesser known facts. This book would make for a great documentary because it is extremely interesting for fans and great for those wanting to know about the Red Sox. It could include real footage from games and interviews from the players themselves. Seeing as the Red Sox just finished a great season, it is the perfect time to read this book.
