Summary

Red Sox Nation is a term meant to encapsulate all those people who make up and are connected to the world of Red Sox baseball, from the owner to the fan in the grandstands. In dedicated pursuit of this concept, Interviews from Red Sox Nation provides over 100 interviews with a wide range of people associated with Red Sox baseball past and present. From front office personnel and players, to the beat writers, historians, and statisticians who cover the club and down to the fans that live and die with the Sox, this book captures the Red Sox phenomenon unlike anything else available in print.
