I'm bumping this thread.

 

WARNING- Anyone who hasn't bought this book. DON'T! This was the worse book I've ever read. Stephen King writes about two paragraphs, while Stuart O'Nan (who throws handicapped children out of their chairs to get foul balls) supplies the rest. He was voted top 20 young authors, which says a lot about the standards of that voting system.

Faithful was a pretty good book as far as I was concerned, but it wasn't my favorite of the ten Red Sox books I've read the past year. At the risk of some of my friends here getting on my case, I give the nod to Dan Shaughnessy's book "Reversing the Curse". Now I know the guy can be a real blowhard and there are Red Sox fans who live in Boston who can't stand the guy, but he wrote a pretty good book and layed it all out in detail how the Red Sox finally put whatever it was that kept them from reaching the the summit. I just liked that book the best.

Did you read the original book he wrote on the curse after they lost in '86?

It was a very slow read. At times, I also had difficulty knowing who authored which entries.

I read Halberstam's Summer of '49 a few years ago, and that was really good. I loved the way he described it: an epic battle royale between Joe Dimaggio's Yankees and Ted Williams' Red Sox.
