Seth Mnookin was given access never before granted to a reporter
for this fascinating inside account of the Boston Red Sox. As a
result he has written perhaps the best book yet about a
professional sports team in America. Feeding the Monster shows what
it takes to win a championship, both on and off the field. Seth
Mnookin spent mornings in the front office, afternoons in the
clubhouse, and evenings in the owners' box. He learned how the Sox
persuaded Curt Schilling to sign, why Nomar Garciaparra resented
his teammates, and what led to Pedro Martinez's acrimonious exit.
He knows the real story behind Theo Epstein's brief departure and
witnessed the development of his rift with Larry Lucchino. And in a
new epilogue, Mnookin examines the 2006 offseason, including the
negotiations for Japanese phenom Daisuke Matsuzaka. In a juicy
narrative that is filled with thrilling detail, Feeding the Monster
peels back the curtain to show what it means to be a part of a
major league sports team today.
