Product Description
From the series that created the prize-winning Redleg Journal and the bestselling Cubs Journal comes the definitive, in-depth chronicle of one of the most beloved franchises in major league baseball, covering every season from 1901 through 2005.
Red Sox Journal is the ultimate Red Sox fan’s resource. Dividing the team’s history into decades, years, and even days, the book offers hitting and pitching highlights, team and player stats, interesting and unusual facts — much more than just a box score.
Red Sox Journal is loaded with photos, sidebars, statistics, and anecdotes, as well as lists of all-time hitting and pitching leaders, all-decade all-star teams, and even the all-time roster and uniform numbers. In short, there’s so much information and trivia contained here that baseball fans will have their hands full well beyond the season of America's favorite game.
Reader Reviews
Two books with similar titles came out within weeks of each other. Which one should you buy? The books are: DAY BY DAY WITH THE BOSTON RED SOX by Bill Nowlin RED SOX JOURNAL by John Synder. Snyder's book is subtitled "Year by Year & Day by Day with the Boston Red Sox Since 1901." Nowlin's book looks like the better one to me, but anyone who can afford both should buy both as they complement each other well. Both books try to look at interesting things that happened on given dates in Red Sox history. If you want to look up a given year, say 1958, Snyder's book is better because it's organized by year. If you want to look up a given date and see everything that happened on that particular date, Nowlin's book works better because it's organized by the day of the year. Nowlin's book costs $17.95. Snyder's book costs almost twice as much, a full $12 more: $29.95. Snyder's book has 92 more pages, but the pages aren't as densely packed with information. At first glance, the two books seem to have about the same amount of information. The Nowlin book is easier to handle, given its size and shape. The Snyder book is a little unwieldy. Both books offer incredible, almost unprecedented amount of detail. Snyder's book sprinkles a dozen or so photographs throughout. It's going to take weeks to read through the two books for content, but there's one troubling gaffe right on the back cover of the Snyder book. His publisher cites the sale of Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $125,000 on January 5, 1920. The sale actually occurred in 1919 on December 26, and the price was an even $100,000. The amount of work that went into these books is staggering. It's too bad they both came out at practically the same time. Both books merit five stars.
