The team that won the first World Series in baseball's modern era
is now officially a part of the Sports by the Numbers franchise THE
TEAM: The Boston Red Sox dominated the early 20th century, winning
five World Series titles before the Evil Empire tasted postseason
success for the first time. With the 86-year nightmare that
followed now firmly in the past, Boston is dominant once again,
having become the first team to win multiple World Series titles in
the 21st century. The Sports by the Numbers team will take you back
to the very beginning, to Huntington Avenue Grounds and names like
Cy Young and Tris Speaker, and then one number at a time you will
relive the greatest moments in Red Sox history. THE FORMAT: The
presentation created by the authors distinguishes Sports by the
Numbers from everything else available today. Boston Red Sox is
composed of ten chapters, each offering one hundred numbered
"mini-stories" - facts, anomalies, records, coincidences, and
enthralling lore and trivia from contemporary stars such as David
Ortiz, Jason Varitek, and Dustin Pedroia, to Hall of Fame legends
from the past like Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Carl
Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, and Wade Boggs. Each chapter begins with
an introduction that highlights the many exciting stories found in
these pages such as the first modern World Series in 1903, Teddy
Ballgame's only World Series in 1946, the Impossible Dream in 1967,
the postseason heartache in 1975 and 1986, and the postseason
miracle in 2004. Sports by the Numbers books are not just for
diehard sports fans, but for every fan and sports history reader
who loves sports and wants to know more about their heroes and
favorite teams.
