This book brought back many memories of the '75 World Series. The author explained that he watched the series (attending one game) with his Uncle Oscar, and this stirred many bittersweet memories for me, of the games and the people with whom I enjoyed them.

The '75 Sox were a great team and a great collection of fascinating characters. The Reds were undoubtedly the better team, but the Sox played with great heart and pushed everything to the limit.

I highly recommend this book.

The 1975 World Series between the Reds and the Red Sox is righly considered one of the greatest and most memorable ever. The 1975 Red Sox enjoyed one of their best seasons ever due to the exploits of Rice, Fisk, Lynn, Yaz, Tiant et. al. This book is a fine tribute to these great Sox players, the Red Sox organization and the city of Boston. The Sox were so great in 1975 and provided us with so many great memories that it's almost possible to forget that they didn't win the Series. This is a fantastic book for any Red Sox fan, baseball fan or sports fan in general. You don't have to be a Sox fan exclusively to enjoy this book- even Yankees fans would enjoy it ! Well-written and highly recommended

this is the most in depth book I have EVER read, Hornig has possibly written the best baseball book of all time. The book covers all 7 games of the 1975 world series, play by play and sometimes pitch by pitch. this book will drag you in and not let you go until u finish the last sentance. not a question unanswered. From the very first pitch of the 75 series to the final out, Doug recaps the games in exquisit detail and often goes off course to explain the techniques and abilities the players in the 75 series endured which just adds to the excitement of the book, I highly recomend this book for any Red Sox fan, and Reds fan, though the book mostly eyes in on the Red Sox, Reds fans would enjoy the book as well.
