Synopsis
Whether you`re a longtime Red Sox fan or have just discovered the particular brand of stoic suffering that defines the Red Sox nation, this is an essential reference book. Written in a friendly, accessible tone that won`t leave new fans lost, The Red Sox Fan Handbook brings the reader up to speed on everything he or she needs to know about New England`s favorite team`s past and present.
The Red Sox Fan Handbook includes material on everything from key players (important Sox, cult favorites, and others), to key moments (`Pesky holds the ball`) and rivalries, to great sportscasters and writers over the years, to the history of the team, to a guide to statistics for beginners, to the Fenway Park experience (how to get to the park, how to get tickets, where to sit, where to eat, where to park)

From the Author
What made me come up with the idea for this book? The Red Sox Fan Handbook is the book I wish I'd had when the team first captured my imagination. It's easy to find a book about stats, or a dry analysis of a baseball team's chances. It's much harder to find the folklore of a team--not just who the important players were, but why people still care about them, what brought them to life for other fans watching games last year, a dozen years ago--or a hundred years ago. This is a book about Ted Williams and Babe Ruth and Pedro Martinez and Nomar Garciaparra, but it's also a book about Ed Jurak catching a rat in his glove, and Tom Maggard dying just at the brink of the major leagues. There are stories about more than 350 players in this book--some of them famous, some of them funny, some of them tragic, some of them just about the lives of people that we care about, or that previous generations of fans cared about.
