Red Sox books, and then some

October 22, 2007

Now that the Sox are back in the Fall Classic, speculation is rampant over the effect this will have on the publishing industry.

The year after the 2004 World Series victory — the team’s first in more than 85 years, David Green published 101 Reasons to Love the Red Sox: And 10 Reasons to Hate the Yankees by David Green (Stewart, Tabori and Chang). It was just one of several dozen titles about the Boston franchise.
I found this semi-reverse piece while trolling the ‘Net.

Like the Yankees and Mets, it seems that neither rabid fan can give the other an inch. It’s not enough that fans of the Bronx franchise want their team to do well, they also want the Bostons to fail miserably. Human nature at its best.

I have assembled a “pseudo-bibliography” of the Red Sox books in my collection, using LibraryThing.com.
