Synopsis
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.

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, as well as a brand new, thoroughly modern stadium, the Red Sox reigned as kings of the Deadball Era. Alas, the dynasty came to an unceremonious end after the 1918 World Series, thanks to the machinations of team owner and Broadway producer Harry Frazee, a.k.a. "the evil genie." Heavily in debt and in dire need of capital to finance his myriad theatrical enterprises, Frazee began to peddle away his star players, including Babe Ruth, to Colonel Jake Rupert's New York Yankees for cash. 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.
