Ten years later, MLB.com writer Ian Browne caught up with many of the men from that never-say-die squad and wove their memories of the season, the playoffs, and their subsequent lives with his own journalism to create a book that is both poignant and hugely entertaining. Woven around the 2004 memories and insights of Derek Lowe, Keith Foulke, Dave Roberts, Gabe Kapler, Pedro Martinez, Johnny Damon, Mark Bellhorn, Tim Wakefield, Terry Francona, Theo Epstein, and others.A marvelous gift and profoundly satisfying read for Red Sox fans.
Ian Browne was born in Detroit, but has spent nearly his whole life in Boston, and thus is soaked in the town's sport-crazy culture; he went to his first Red Sox game in 1980, and always wanted to see the Red Sox win a World Series and finally, in his third year covering the team for MLB.com, he did.
Ian graduated from Northeastern University with a degree in journalism in 1995. He and his wife, Amy (a fellow graduate of Northeastern Univeristy School of Journalism) have three sons, Tyler, Ryan, and Casey. They live in West Roxbury, Mass.
Of Idiots Revisited, he says, There is nothing like going down Memory Lane with an iconic team.
Designated hitter for the Boston Red Sox.
