In the years before the Curse of the Bambino descended on New England, the Boston Red Sox rode major league baseball like a colossus, capturing four World Series titles in seven seasons. Blessed with legendary players like Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, Harry Hooper, and Smokey Joe Wood, and a brand new, thoroughly modern stadium, the Red Sox reigned as kings of the Deadball Era. Just in time for the centenary of baseball's hallowed Fenway Park and the dawn of the Red Sox dynasty, Thomas J. Whalen gracefully recounts the rise and fall of one of baseball's greatest teams.

On the morning of the seventh game of the epic Red Sox - Yankees American League Championship Series, Shaun Kelly, who wrote the book's preface and is a member of the internet message board at SonsofSamHorn.com, began pounding away on his computer keyboard crafting his own particular 'mojo that he hoped would ultimately defeat the despised Yankees. He originated the Win it for thread and urged other members, some 2,000 strong, to do the same - urging the Red Sox to win it for the people who had loved the team through thick and thin.

Michael Lewis’s instant classic may be “the most influential book on sports ever written” (People), but “you need know absolutely nothing about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy and incisiveness of [Lewis’s] thoughts about it” (Janet Maslin, New York Times). One of GQ's 50 Best Books of Literary Journalism of the 21st Century Just before the 2002 season opens, the Oakland Athletics must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players and is written off by just about everyone—but then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins. How did one of the poorest teams in baseball win so many games? In a quest to discover the answer, Michael Lewis delivers not only “the single most influential baseball book ever” (Rob Neyer, Slate) but also what “may be the best book ever written on business” (Weekly Standard). Lewis first looks to all the logical places—the front offices of major league teams, the coaches, the minds of brilliant players—but discovers the real jackpot is a cache of numbers?numbers!?collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors. What these numbers prove is that the traditional yardsticks of success for players and teams are fatally flawed. Even the box score misleads us by ignoring the crucial importance of the humble base-on-balls. This information had been around for years, and nobody inside Major League Baseball paid it any mind. And then came Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics. He paid attention to those numbers?with the second-lowest payroll in baseball at his disposal he had to?to conduct an astonishing experiment in finding and fielding a team that nobody else wanted. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael Lewis shows us how and why the new baseball knowledge works. He also sets up a sly and hilarious morality tale: Big Money, like Goliath, is always supposed to win . . . how can we not cheer for David?

In this wonderful page-turner, veteran sports journalist Mike Vaccaro brings to life a bygone era in cinematic and intimate detail—and re-creates the magic and suspense of the world’s first classic series. Despite a major presidential election, the near-assassination of Teddy Roosevelt, and the most sensational trial of the young century, baseball dominated front-page headlines in October 1912. The Boston Red Sox and the New York Giants of that year—two of the finest ball clubs that had ever been assembled—went head-to-head in a thrilling eight-game battle that ultimately elevated the World Series from a regional October novelty to a national obsession.

For years, the Boston Red Sox carried the burden of "The Curse of the Bambino" - beginning when Harry Frazee, the owner of the Boston Red Sox, sold the greatest player in baseball history, Babe Ruth, to the New York Yankees, after the 1919 season - supposedly to finance one of his Broadway musicals (although the musical he was supposed to have been financing was not produced for a number of years). To that point, the Red Sox had won five of the first 15 World Series, the most of any team. From that point onward until 2004, the Yankees won 39 American league pennants (to the Red Sox' four) and 26 World Series (to the Sox' zero). In 2018, the Boston Red Sox captured their fourth World Series title in 15 years, after "Reversing the Curse" in 2004, ending 86 years of frustration. All these facts are very well known to most Red Sox fans, especially the constant of the "Curse" until the team finally triumphed in 2004. During the championship run of 2013, and again in 2018, the Bosox never faced an elimination game. But, in tracing back through the last 50+ years of major league baseball, there is no franchise that equals the Red Sox record in post-season elimination games. This is what I am interested in looking at in this book. For many years, we listened to the story of the curse under which the Red Sox operated. As a Red Sox fan, it was enjoyable, and certainly relaxing, that in 2013 the team NEVER faced a game in which they HAD to win to continue their season - and, of course, they repeated the feat in 2018. The last time that had happened to the Boston nine, it was in the 1918 World Series. Throughout the years of Boston postseason baseball, the Boston Red Sox - win OR lose - have produced some of the most tension-filled, exciting postseason baseball anyone has seen.
