Red Sox Century（ISBN=） 英文原版

The definitive story of the Red Sox, a best-selling classic, now
expanded and updated to include the incredible 2004 season and
World Series win. In that magic fall of 2004, the Boston Red Sox
transformed themselves from an unruly band of self-proclaimed
idiots into world champions for the first time in eighty-six years.
Their unlikely triumph became known instantly as one of the most
thrilling, nerve-racking, and ultimately inspiring sports stories
ever. And it also changed the course of history for a franchise
that had long been known more for its failures than for its
successes. In Red Sox Century, “the best of the Sox sages” (USA
Today Baseball Weekly) chronicle the complete history of this
enduring team with authority, insight, and high style. From the
team’s inception in 1901 and its early peak in 1918, when it won
its fifth World Series, to the glory years, which saw the rise of
such greats as Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Teddy Ballgame, and Yaz and the
“impossible dream,” to the near misses in 1975, 1986, and 2003, and
finally to the glorious World Series victory in 2004 — it’s all
here, drawn from countless interviews and extensive research and
illustrated with more than 225 photographs, many never seen before.
Now expanded and updated and featuring irresistible new keepsake
pages where fans can record their own stories of the latest chapter
in Red Sox lore — replete with its fairy-tale ending — Red Sox
Century is a book no self-respecting fan should be without. “All
that anyone would care to know about this accursed yet lovable
franchise.” — Sports Illustrated Glenn Stout has been the series
editor of The Best American Sports Writing since its inception.
Richard A. Johnson is the curator of the Sports Museum. Together
they have written numerous critically acclaimed sports books,
including Yankees Century: 100 Years of New York Yankees Baseball
and The Dodgers: 120 Years of Dodgers Baseball. Widely regarded as
first-rate baseball historians, the authors have appeared on NPR,
ESPN, HBO, the History Channel, and numerous regional television
and radio stations. “The ultimate gift for Red Sox fans.” —
Publishers Weekly “A definitive look at Fenway’s finest . . .
Artistic, well researched, and elegant.” — Boston Globe “A grand
slam.” — Boston Herald
