Book Reviews of The Long Ball: The Summer of '75--Spaceman, Catfish, Charlie Hustle, and the Greatest World Series Ever Played
Book Review: A Spaceman Summer
Summary: 4 Stars
The Red Sox must be the most written-about sports franchise outside of New York. And deservedly so. This book, if followed quickly by Bill Lee's revisionist version of the 1975 season (The Little Red Sox Book), makes for satisfying summer reading. This book chronicles the excitement, but eventual disappointment, Lee's offers solace with an alternative ending. Both are great.Phil
