The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games by Cecilia Tan
Advance Praise for THE 50 GREATEST RED SOX GAMES "Herea s the deal. It costs about $43 for a grandstand seat at Fenway Park these days, unless you buy the ticket from a scalper, which makes the cost $2 million. If you went to just 50 games of any dimension that means the cost would be either $2,150 or $100 million. Here, for considerably less, you get the 50 greatest games the Red Sox ever played plus tight prose, snappy anecdotes, and reasoned judgments. Bargains like this dona t come often. Plus, you dona t even have to pay for parking." ----Leigh Montville, author of Ted Williams: The Biography of an American Hero "Ita s a daunting task, but Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have come up with the Red Sox greatest hits album, the box set. Enjoy." ----Dan Shaughnessy, author of Reversing the Curse "Old Towne Team fans will think they have died and gone to heaven with The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games in their grasp. Informative, exciting, entertaining ...Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have done a good deed for the Fenway faithful." ----Harvey Frommer, coauthor of Red Sox vs. Yankees: The Great Rivalry
"Any guesses as to which game Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin choose as the greatest of them all in their Fifty Greatest Red Sox Games (Wiley)? CorrectAnd second to that magic engagement that spanned Oct. 17 and 18, 2004, is Sunday, Oct. 12, 1986, best remembered for Dave Hendersona s exculpatory home run and sacrifice fly against the Angels. It saved the Red Sox from extinction in the ALCS, propelling them toward Oct. 25, 1986, the sixth greatest contest, according to the two savants, synonymous though it is with the expression a Bill Buckner.a The games, which range from 1903 to 2004, are excellently described and reflected upon--as well as highly debatable, making the book a bible for bibulous evenings."
