I just may be a bit biased here, being a Red Sox fan for over 40 years. I've seen the worst and the best, thank heavens. How many have gone to their graves during that long 86 years drought of no championships? Anyway, to the book. It gives you just enough with some beautiful, captivating pictures. The book covers the beginning but doesn't bore you with details, just enough to keep the diehard fan interested without killing off interest for the lesser fan. I went straight through the book with pause. It was a captivating portrayal of the business, politics, and of course on-field antics and won-loss performance of the players. Really enjoyed it. Thanks Mom and Dad, a great birthday present.
