86 Years: The Ledgend of the Boston Red Sox


86 Years: The Legend of the Boston Red Sox by Melinda R. Boroson is a fun book to read especially if you loooooooooovvve the Boston Red Sox. This book gives a brief history of the Boston Red Sox and the 86 year curse. This book was written in a poetic format and pleasantly reveals the history of the Red Sox. Did you know that the owner of the Red Sox sold Babe Ruth to help cover some debts? Why didn't the owner of the baseball team just ask Babe Ruth for a cut from the sales of his candy bars? Ever since Babe Ruth was traded or sold the Red Sox didn't fare too well on the baseball field. According to this book, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. The Babe Ruth curse has been broken and the spirits of all of Boston Red Sox fans were lifted up above the clouds. Truth be told, I'm not a Boston Red Sox fan but that was one great World Series to watch. I even smiled the day the last pitch was pitched in 2004. Congratulations Red Sox!
