"A true insider's perspective on the 2004 Red Sox" and their World Series win, from the bestselling author of
Curse of the Bambino (
USA Today).
On October 27, 2004, the Red Sox won their first World Series Championship in eighty-six years—breaking the infamous Curse of the Bambino and giving diehard fans the thrill of a lifetime.
Reversing the Curse preserves one of the greatest stories in sports history with an absorbing account of the team—a raggedy lineup of motorcycle-riding, whiskey-drinking rogues—and the key events that led to their incredible championship victory. A more epic sports saga could not have been invented: Here we have the curse that began with Babe Ruth; a team of comeback kids determined to prove their mettle; the perennial rivalry against the Yankees; and a historic win that was celebrated around the world.
Dan Shaughnessy captures the Sox triumph in all its drama and euphoria with penetrating insight, a keen sense of history, and unparalleled insider access. With photographs by the Pulitzer Prize–winning photographer Stan Grossfeld,
Reversing the Curse is the definitive record of a landmark moment in baseball history.
"[Shaughnessy is] adept at capturing the mood, the emotion, the palpable feel of the Boston-New York showdown." —
The New York Times
"In story after story of near-triumph, the book should delight the team's most fanatically loyal followers." —
