    About this ebook

    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.

      Good stuff. Michael Holley is a very good writer/author. Uh, much better than he seems at some points on the radio.
    • 3/5
      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.
    • 4/5
      Fun read with lots of facts and back stories - really humanizes Terry Francona. Well paced, easy page turner and a must-read for Red Sox fans... If you like baseball trivia you'll love the Michael Jordan stories.
