101 Reasons to Love the Red Sox (Revised)

By David Green Sr. and David Green

Book Overview

There is no other stadium like Fenway Park with its wooden seats, manual scoreboard, and the looming green monster; no other history that includes such an infamous trade, a curse, and a penchant for losing critical games; no other group of fans that measure up to the loyal Red Sox Nation. There is simply no other team that compares to the Red Sox. This revised and updated version of 101 Reasons to Love the Red Sox is filled with reasons to celebrate Boston's best-loved team: the 2004 World Series championship, the beloved B, five World Series titles before 1919, Yawky Way, the legendary Ted Williams, Royal Rooters, the "Impossible Dream" season, Cy Young, and Big Papi. Vintage and modern photos, baseball cards, memorable stories, and sports trivia provide a portrait of the Red Sox from their very beginning to the present. The heart of the players and fans combined with the Red Sox' storied past truly make Fenway Park a field of dreams.

Much Love For The Red Sox!

I am a huge Red Sox fan and jumped at the chance to buy this for fellow Red Sox fan as a Christmas present. When I got it I flipped through it a bit out of curiosity. It's really cool! It goes through all the reasons why the Red Sox are the best team to root for. There are some of the more obvious reasons(Curt Schilling and that ankle of his in 2004, winning the WSC in 2004 and again in 2007) and some other ones that maybe you didn't think about. What may be an even more fun treat than 101 reasons to love our beloved Red Sox, is at the end of the book the author provides us with 10 fantastic reasons why we should hate those blasted, evil Yankees. Having not actually gotten to read the book all the way through(it was a present after all) the 10 reasons to hate the Yankees may have been my favorite part. Other important things you may want to note, the book is hardback, and the cover is very nice, as are each of the high quality pages. So, at the low price it is, what are you waiting for?!?! If you're a Red Sox fan, buy this book! If you know a Red Sox fan, buy this book for him/her!

BoSox Love in Full Display

This is a wonderful gift book for any fan of the Old Towne Team. I recommend it as a companion book to "Why I Hate the Yankees" or one of the other Yankee Hater books. Happy reading!

Excellent Coffee Table Book

It's a nice, glossy book, and it's so darn funny. It also contains some great tidbits about the history of the Red Sox. And the "10 reasons to hate the Yankees" section is phenomenal.

Red Sox!!!!

Great book, a must have for Red Sox fans. Who needs 10 reasons to hate the Yankees, though.

A great book about a great team!

This book has it all: 101 reasons to love our fabulous Red Sox AND 10 reasons to hate the Yankees! The fact that his brother wrote a book about loving the Yankees makes it even more interesting. My favorite reason? #101. A Reason to Believe.
