• Good read for Sox fans, though offering no new info.
  So I guess every member of the Boston media is going to write a book on the current local professional sports scene. Can we expect all the Bruins writers to pen something for next season if the team wins a Stanley Cup? How many more Red Sox books are out there?

• Better examination of Red Sox recent success
  I have had the chance to read this book as well as Michael Holley's love note to Terry Francona and John Henry. This is by far the better of the two.

I wonder if this has anything to do with media accessibility, hmmm...
