“If we could have scored one more run than the White Sox in each game, I think we would have won the series”---so opined Boston manager Terry Francona. Sharp observations such as this have brightened the Red Sox Nation through the years. “All literary men are Red Sox fans,” said John Cheever. And while the Red Sox made it to the top of the baseball world in 2004 after a long and tortured history, presidential hopeful John Kerry remarked, “If anything prepares you to be president, it’s being a Red Sox fan”---even though he ultimately failed to reach his goal. The franchise that has gone from dynasty to dud and back to dynasty has inspired its share of comments from pundits and wisecrackers, legends and toffs. And the Sox have had their own world-class quipsters and philosophers, from Cy Young, Bill Lee, and Ted Williams to Jimmy Piersall and Manny Ramirez. Collected here are the best-known, wittiest, pithiest, and most entertaining writings, quotes, and quips relating to the Red Sox, accompanied by a rich collection of historic and modern photographs.

Description

Suppose you were raised in poverty and always wanted to live the glamorous life—exotic cars, plenty of women, expensive ice, and a large home. You carved out your niche, then all at once, your dream life was snatched from under your feet and you were demoted back to hood status. How ruthless could you be if it meant getting your shine back? What if fate hadn’t been kind and you figured out that most people liked you for your brick house body, not your brain? If you found yourself in a hell of a situation—would you break a promise to yourself and stop gold digging, and end up living with kinky swingers who were willing to pay you well to help them spice up their rocky marriage, or would you walk away from the offer? Suppose, in childhood, your drug-addicted mother did the unthinkable after your father left the household. In adulthood, you suppressed a hurtful secret that caused you to hide behind your stacked paper and success in the NBA. Would it be your fault that you couldn’t step up to the plate and be a real father? Short Changed is a true-to-life story of three siblings who are in crisis. It will help any person from any walk of life see the importance of facing the truth, healing past hurts, and walking away form abusive relationships.
