"This is the best book looking inside the mind of a big-league
manager I have ever read, because Francona is sharp and loves the
game, because Shaughnessy is eloquent and a dazzling
storyteller."--"Philadelphia Daily News"
When Terry Francona took over as manager of the Boston Red Sox in
2004, the storied franchise hadn't won a World Series championship
in eighty-six years. Led by Francona, the team won two over the
course of four years. During the full eight years of Francona's
tenure, the Red Sox were transformed from "cursed" into one of the
most successful and profitable teams in baseball history--only to
fall back to last place as soon as Francona was gone.
"Francona: The Red Sox Years" lets readers in on the inner workings
of the Red Sox clubhouse like no book has ever done before. From
the highs of the World Series to the lows of the final months of
the 2011 season--the most epic collapse of a team in baseball
history--this book features the never-before-told stories about Sox
fans' favorite players, moments, wins, and losses.
"A scorched-earth memoir . . . that] touches fleetingly on steroid
use, sabermetrics, and Michael Jordan's stint in the minor leagues
. . . but saves its heaviest artillery for the owners . . . and]
Theo Epstein backs him up."--"New York Times Book Review"
"It's not often that baseball aficionados and gossip gluttons can
plunk down on a shared portion of outfield grass with the same book
for an afternoon of readerly delight, but "Francona "can bridge
those kinds of differences."--"Boston Globe"
