The Greatest Game in Boston
Posted on April 11th, 2008 in Uncategorized | No Comments »
Just in time for the first Yankees-Red Sox series of 2008, I’m in Boston to talk about The Greatest Game. I’ll be speaking at the Borders bookstore at 120 School Street at 1 PM…and I’ll tell you right now, my intention is to convince every Red Sox fan in attendance that their future health and well-being depends upon them buying this book. Meanwhile, TGG gets a nice review in the Garden City [New York] News. (Hey, I hadn’t heard of it either, but I’ll take ’em where I can get ’em. Bradley does a really good job with his subject. He sets up the context well and had many excellent interviews with the players concerning the game and the rivalry and also provides fascinating details about the individuals involved (Perhaps most poignant was the story of Bucky Dent’s attempt to find his father) while providing an insightful pitch by pitch account of the game. Meanwhile, tonight’s game features Chien-Ming Wang (2-0, 1.38) versus Clay Bucholz (0-1, 5.40).I’m liking the Yankees on this one….but I wish Derek Jeter and Jorge Posada were in the lineup.
