This is less about the 2007 season and more a short biography of Terry Francona. Francona finally got his longer biography in 2013. ( ) Synopsis: The full title Red Sox Rule: Terry Francona and Boston's Rise to Dominance is somewhat misleading in the fact that doesn't focus on the team as a whole. It is a biography on Terry Francona, the manager of the Boston Red Sox and how he helped the team win 2 World Series trophies. The book gives side-stories of Francona's childhood, major-league play, and pre-Red Sox management jobs. It also give an account of the 2007 season: spring training to playoffs. Pros: humanizes Francona, gives Red Sox fans a "behind the scenes" feeling Cons: Not enough about the team - 2004 was barely touched upon! The author jumps around, which can be confusing, especially for those (like me) who can't remember every player, game, year, etc. Terry Francona was the best thing to come to Boston since the last World Series Trophy of 1918 (of course this is pre '04 & '07). Red Sox Rule is the tale of Terry's life leading up to and through his tenure with the Boston Red Sox. This book is for those interested in learning about his trials and tribulations from his childhood to his MLB playing and managaing days. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The story of the changing face of baseball and the inner workings of its finest organization After a hundred "cursed" years, the Boston Red Sox rose gloriously to baseball domination. Under the leadership of manager Terry Francona, an extraordinary team of wildly disparate personalities--from the inscrutable Manny Ramirez to the affable David "Big Papi" Ortiz--pulled off two improbable post-season comebacks to make it to the World Series twice in three years . . . and ultimately emerged victorious. In Red Sox Rule, Michael Holley, bestselling author of Patriot Reign, provides a fascinating, insightful, and surprising inside look at how it all happened. With the exclusive cooperation of Terry Francona and stories from the clubhouse and the conference room, Holley reveals the private sessions and the dugout and front-office strategies that have made the Red Sox a budding dynasty, overtaking their archrivals, the powerful New York Yankees, as the American League's elite team.
