Journalist Robert Sullivan can't remember a day when he was not a Red Sox fan. It seems he was born a devotee; he certainly was raised to be one. From Ted to Yaz, the to-the-death pledge of fidelity to the celebrated team was a rite of passage for anyone growing up in semi rural Massachusetts in the 1950s and '60s. Our Red Soxchronicles the love affair of a man, a family, and a community for "their" team. It's about playoffs recently past and seasons long ago, about 1918 and 2004 and everything in between. It's about families and sandlots and bleacher seats and press row, about tragedies remembered and frighteningly real -- all happening in an orbit around the park called Fenway -- as well as the luminous moments of camaraderie and triumph. Our Red Soxis a witty, gentle, moving memoir from deep inside a wonderful place called Red Sox Nation.Sullivan, Robert is the author of 'Our Red Sox A Story of Family, Friends and Fenway', published 2005 under ISBN 9781578602346 and ISBN 1578602343.
