Some Nice Comments from a Yankees Fan

Came upon an interesting book this afternoon, bought it on impulse, and really haven’t been able to put it down for long.

IT WAS NEVER ABOUT THE BABE: THE RED SOX, RACISM, MISMANAGEMENT, AND THE CURSE OF THE BAMBINO, by Jerry M. Gutlon (Skyhorse Publishing, 2009) 302 pp.

It’s a “warts and all” history of the BoSox by a lifelong Red Sox fan. Fascinating stuff — especially on the total travesty of the Yawkey ownership — and an excellent read. Somewhat Yankees related because it deals with the whole “Curse” mythos.
