<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Every Major League team has a history-but this is the franchise of Ted Williams. Every Major League team has players they call "heroes"-but with Williams you can drop the emphasis: he's a true hero, an American icon, and a baseball legend. This is the franchise of Joe Cronin, Jimmy Collins, Tom Yawkey, and no fewer than 36 Hall of Fame players who spent a portion of their careers with the Red Sox. From Babe Ruth, Cy Young, Harry Hooper and Tris Speaker, to Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, Wade Boggs and Pedro Martinez ... this is a franchise so rich in history that it is inextricably linked to the history of the game itself. Add to that list the members of the Red Sox Hall of Fame-names like Bill Lee, Jim Lonborg, Fred Lynn, Jerry Remy, Bruce Hurst, Mike Greenwell, Mo Vaughn, Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens and Nomar Garciaparra-and you quickly realize why it is impossible to tell the story of baseball's history without the Red Sox. This is a book of Red Sox history and trivia. With ten chapters and 201 trivia questions, it is a celebration of the Baseball Hall of Fame and the Red Sox Hall of Fame legends who gave us some of the greatest moments in franchise history. Whether you are a novice or a long-time member of Red Sox Nation ... enjoy the trivia, and have fun reminiscing.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Bill Nowlin was born in the city of Boston and that explains some of the reason for his passion regarding the Red Sox. He's seen maybe 1,000 Red Sox games over the years - the final pennant-winning game in 1967, Carbo's and Fisk's home runs in Game Six of the 1975 World Series, four no-hitters, and finally saw the Red Sox win a World Series at Fenway Park in 2013, the first one they'd won at home since 1918. A former political science professor, he started Rounder Records with two co-founders and the trio oversaw the release of more than 3,000 record albums. In 1997, he started writing about baseball - in particular, the Red Sox, and has written, co-written, edited, or co-edited a few dozen books on the home-town team.
