Red Sox Century : Limited Edition

In the year 2001, the Red Sox will celebrate one hundred years of baseball in Boston. In no other city, in no other sport, has there been a team that has enjoyed such a loyal following and yet has broken more hearts. This is the Red Sox story in its entirety, much of it never before told -- from the team's inception, orchestrated by baseball czar Ban Johnson, and its early peak in 1918, with its fifth and LAST World Series win; through the glory years, which saw the rise of such greats as Cy Young, Babe Ruth, Teddy Ballgame, and Yaz, and which witnessed the Impossible Dream of 1967 and near-misses in 1975 and 1986; to the present, when the Sox are still chasing the world championship that their fabled destiny seems not to want them to have. In these pages, many a Red Sox myth is debunked, and many stories are told for the first time.
