The Boys of October : How the 1975 Boston Red Sox Embodied Baseball's Ideals--and Restored Our Spirits 10 reviews Doug Hornig
McGraw-Hill, 2004
I remember it well
+ A NICE BOOK ABOUT THE 1975 WORLD SERIES
Ah, I was 10 years old when these games were played. I remember going to bed after the 10th inning in game 6 because I wasn't allowed to stay up that late, so I missed Pudge's HR. I'll never let my mom forget that!
I enjoyed this book immensely, even though I was rooting for the Big Red ...
