From the Dust Jacket: "No contest has been of longer duration, more fiercely contested, or more passionately followed than the century-old rivalry between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. Now Ed Linn, veteran best-selling author, relates the entire rip-roaring epic, from its inception in 1903 to the climatic confrontation in the 1978 playoff - and beyond. This is a tale studded with heroes and events of Homeric proportions."
