Book Reviews of Chasing Steinbrenner: Pursuing the Pennant in Boston and Toronto
Book Review: Biased Red Sox Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Moneyball was a great read for me as a diehard baseball fan. Unfortunately it had little or nothing to do with the Red Sox. Luckily, now there is Chasing Steinbrenner. The half of the book that deals with the behind the scenes operations of the Toronto Blue Jays is to be forgiven since it is also interesting.Among the unforegtable stories is when Toronto GM JP Ricciardi gets a phone call from the local Worcester newspaper (JP is a Worcester native). Turns out the reporter was dying for a story about the high school basketball team that Ricciardi was several years removed from being the coach of. The exclusive with the local MLB GM would have been a bigger story, but the reporter is disappointed.
This book is a must read for those with any curiosity about what goes on upstairs at Fenway with the Sox brass.
