    Bill Nowlin

    BILL NOWLIN confesses to have left Game Three of the 2004 ALCS before it was over - due to a 13-year-old son at home with a friend. But since the 1950s he has attended countless Red Sox games at a place he often calls his "second home." He waited 59 years to see the Sox win it all. He is one of the founders of Rounder Records; the one Hall of Fame into which he was inducted is the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. He has written and edited many books, mostly on baseball and mostly for SABR, but has not gone far in life - he lives in Cambridge, maybe 10 miles from where he was born in Boston.
