Look! I’m in a couple of books! Earlier this spring the book I Love the Red Sox/I Hate the Yankees was released. The book contains great personal stories about why people love the Red Sox and hate the Yankees, and my story about watching Yaz go for hit #3,000 in 1979 is included.
From the Publisher’s Description:
Presented in a unique reversible-book format, I Love the Red Sox/I Hate the Yankees is the ultimate Red Sox fan guide to baseball’s most celebrated and storied rivalry. Full of interesting trivia, hilarious history, and inside scoops, the book relates the fantastic stories of legendary Red Sox managers and star players, including Ted Williams, Jim Rice, and David Ortiz, as well as the numerous villains who have donned the pinstripes over the years. Like two books in one, this completely biased account of the rivalry proclaims the irrefutable reasons to cheer the Red Sox and boo the Yankees and shows that there really is no fine line between love and hate.
I also wrote the foreword to the just released ebook 101 Things You May Not Have Known About the Red Sox.
From the Publisher’s Description:
There is something for every Red Sox fan in John White’s “101 Things You May Not Have Known About The Boston Red Sox.” Major League Baseball has a long and storied history and the Boston Red Sox have more than played their part in it. However, this book is not exclusively a work of reference, or a compendium of lists, or a collection of biographies, or a compilation of trivia. It is a gloriously quirky mixture of all these things and much more besides. Within these pages, the reader will learn hundreds of fascinating facts about the Red Sox on a wide range of topics, from their 7 World Series wins; retired numbers and many wonderful stories of legendary Red Sox players including Roger Clemens, Duffy Lewis, Dominic Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, Luis Tiant, Ted Williams, Smoky Joe Wood, Carl Yastrzemski, Cy Young, and perhaps the most famous MLB player of all-time, the one and only Babe Ruth. The book encompasses the notable feats with bat and ball of both the slugging gods and their assistant pie-throwers and the epic World Series encounters in which they participated. A veritable cornucopia of information about the Red Sox, “101 Things You May Not Have Known About The Boston Red Sox ” will bring hours of reading pleasure to every Red Sox fan.
I’ll have a review for each of these books up soon. In the meantime, pick them up and get reading!
