Synopsis The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games by : Cecilia Tan
Advance Praise for THE 50 GREATEST RED SOX GAMES "Here's the deal. It costs about $43 for a grandstand seat at Fenway Park these days, unless you buy the ticket from a scalper, which makes the cost $2 million. If you went to just 50 games of any dimension that means the cost would be either $2,150 or $100 million. Here, for considerably less, you get the 50 greatest games the Red Sox ever played plus tight prose, snappy anecdotes, and reasoned judgments. Bargains like this don't come often. Plus, you don't even have to pay for parking." --Leigh Montville, author of Ted Williams: The Biography of an American Hero "It's a daunting task, but Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have come up with the Red Sox greatest hits album, the box set. Enjoy." --Dan Shaughnessy, author of Reversing the Curse "Old Towne Team fans will think they have died and gone to heaven with The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games in their grasp. Informative, exciting, entertaining . . . Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have done a good deed for the Fenway faithful." --Harvey Frommer, coauthor of Red Sox vs. Yankees: The Great Rivalry

Synopsis The 50 Greatest Players in Boston Red Sox History by : Lew Freedman
Boston's American League baseball club thrust itself into the city's consciousness in 1901, and in the century-plus to follow, the team that morphed into the Red Sox became a regional institution. A beloved franchise through its ups and downs, its triumphs and tragedies, the Red Sox are very much part of the fabric of New England. They are like family to the people of Boston. The Red Sox have been blessed with many legends. Some of the greatest players of all time have worn the uniform. Ted Williams, Cy Young and Babe Ruth are on the short lists of all fans as among the best of the best. But others authored great moments as well. Players such as Carl Yastrzemski, Jimmie Foxx, Carlton Fisk and Roger Clemens made memories with their pitches or hits, their historic home runs or their bring-the-heat strikeouts. With a franchise that has been around for 112 years, that plays in iconic Fenway Park, that has won dramatic World Series and been an object of woe through lean years, there is much to review in choosing a top group of players. The 50 Greatest Players in Boston Red Sox History selects and rates this group based on the overall accomplishments of the best players to wear a Red Sox uniform. In addition, it weighs the achievements of those players during their time with the club. It was a challenge to sort out the contributions of those whose careers never came close to overlapping and compare the pros and cons of each man's statistics. This list will likely provoke discussion, though hopefully not serious enough to cause permanent rifts between fans. While the greatest of the Red Sox greats are natural fits for the top group of players, guys who could make any team anywhere, some players from various eras will get a fresh boost and will have more details of their careers exposed to younger generations of fans. Jimmy Collins, Tex Hughson, Bill Dinneen, and Jackie Jensen are among the players who contributed mightily to the Red Sox cause over the years and who should not be overlooked in memory. Book jacket.

Synopsis Red Sox vs. Yankees by : Bill Nowlin
Teddy Ballgame or the Great Bambino? Nomar or Jeter? Clemens or Clemens? For more than 115 years, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees have been battling it out on the diamond, playing each other over 2,000 times. This heated rivalry has stood the test of time, as one team’s triumph usually means the other’s dismay. While the teams battle on the field, the fans and cities take the rivalry just as seriously. But who’s the best? Which team’s players have the edge? Which team’s squad would reign supreme? If you ask a New Yorker, you’ll get an obvious answer; same with a Bostonian. But what happens when two men from opposite sides of the track sit down to discuss who is the best? Red Sox vs. Yankees pairs baseball historians Bill Nowlin (Red Sox) and David Fischer (Yankees) to discuss who each team’s best position player was and which super team would win in a head-to-head series. Obviously, they won’t easily agree. Obviously, there will be cheap shots and venom spewed back and forth. But in the end, we will have two teams: one of the greatest players and one of each squad’s best year. You can guess that Nowlin will say that the Sox will win, while Fischer is confident that the Yanks will be victorious. But it’s not that easy. Thanks to the help of Action! PC Baseball, we will have a simulation to find out which team would win in a head-to-head battle. Will the All-Star Yankees take the series? Will the Red Sox pummel the best the Bronx has to offer? There’s only one way to find out.
