Tales from the Red Sox Dugout

The Boston Red Sox are one of the storied sports franchises in North America. Steeped in tradition, they represent a veritable treasure trove of baseball lore. From the earliest days of a promising young pitcher named Babe Ruth, through the glory years of Foxx, Williams, and Yastrzemski, to the present era of superstars such as Garciaparra and Martinez, the Red Sox epitomize all that is grand about the grand old game. But it isn’t just the superstars who make this team unique. Over the years they’ve been blessed with some of the most colorful and engaging characters ever to don a major league uniform–Bill "Spaceman" Lee, Dick "Dr. Strangeglove" Stuart, and Dennis "Oil Can" Boyd, to name just a few. Tales from the Red Sox Dugout captures the flavor and atmosphere of the Red Sox dugout–the situations, anecdotes, and atmosphere that define the Red Sox. So whether you’re a diehard Bosox supporter or just a baseball fan, you’ll find this book as irresistible as a sunny afternoon doubleheader at Fenway.
