For 84, count 'em, 84 miserable seasons, the Boston Red Sox have endured nothing but defeat and heartbreak. Finally, there is hope.

And play the outfield. With Kane dazzling sellout crowds, the Red Sox are suddenly a juggernaut. The only fly in the ointment - a big, ugly horsefly - is the fact that murder seems to be stalking the club." . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good+/Very Good. more information
