Book Review: A Drug for Red Sox Addicts
Summary: 5 Stars
If you think you know everything there is to know about the Boston Red Sox, think again. This book reveals facts that even diehard fans might not know. For example, did you know that former Red Sox catcher Birdie Tebbetts secretly called balls and strikes in a game against the White Sox? Turns out he did it to help out umpire Red Ormsby who had been gassed in WW1 and was suffering from blurred vision.
Do you agree with the author's ranking of the 50 greatest players of all time? Should Pedro be ahead of Rocket Roger? Yaz ahead of Ted?
Did you know that Ted Williams openly lobbied for Dom DiMaggio's admittance to the Hall of Fame? Ted's letter to the Veteran's Committee is in this book.
Did you know that 1983 was a "lemon chicken season" for Wade Boggs?
What Red Sox pitcher issued the following statement: "My first foray into Lower Guk was a lot of fun..."?
What Sox first baseman accused Johnny Damon of "throwing like a girl?"
This book is a mixture of facts and fun and the concoction is addictive.
This really is an essential book for Red Sox fans if all ages.
