The Boston Red Sox: 100 Years - Hardcover

From the beginning, the Boston Red Sox have been one of the most storied franchises in the history of team sports. From their early dominance at the start of the 20th Century and the trade of Babe Ruth to the hated New York Yankees to the wonder of Ted Williams and the near miracle of 1967, the Red Sox embody the history of Major League Baseball. The World Series was created, in part, to showcase the Red Sox while the team’s annual match toward another title has created a New England faithful as passionate as any fan base in any sport on the globe. Through vivid imagery, more than 35,000 words of text and state-of-the-art graphic design from the award-winning staff at Rare Air, the history of the Red Sox franchise unfolds. Each of the eight chapters opens with an essay from some of the most gifted writers in the country.
