The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games (Hardcover)
Description
Advance Praise for THE 50 GREATEST RED SOX GAMES
"Here's the deal. It costs about $43 for a grandstand seat at Fenway Park these days, unless you buy the ticket from a scalper, which makes the cost $2 million. If you went to just 50 games of any dimension that means the cost would be either $2,150 or $100 million. Here, for considerably less, you get the 50 greatest games the Red Sox ever played plus tight prose, snappy anecdotes, and reasoned judgments. Bargains like this don't come often. Plus, you don't even have to pay for parking."
--Leigh Montville, author of Ted Williams: The Biography of an American Hero
"It's a daunting task, but Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have come up with the Red Sox greatest hits album, the box set. Enjoy."
--Dan Shaughnessy, author of Reversing the Curse
"Old Towne Team fans will think they have died and gone to heaven with The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games in their grasp. Informative, exciting, entertaining . . . Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have done a good deed for the Fenway faithful."
--Harvey Frommer, coauthor of Red Sox vs. Yankees: The Great Rivalry
