Anyone read it? I just got a copy and have been flipping through it. It has a lot of neat info I've never seen before. Also seems to be heavy with cynicism so far.

Guess I'm feeling picky at the moment. Was reading some of the updated portion about 2004. Some inaccuracies surprised me concering the Sox win over the Yankees' in the ALCS.

Game 5...Big Papi's single to center to score Damon...they describe it as him 'ripping' a line drive to center. But it wasn't. He hit it in on the hands and it was much more of a blooper or a flare than a line drive. Right?

Game 6...Mark Bellhorn's 3-run homer...authors called it a 'lazy fly to left'. I seem to remember it being an opposite-field line drive that just cleared the wall.

Game 7...after Pedro's disastrous relief attempt...authors said that Timlin and Foulke finished out the game. Only it was Embree that finished up the game. Foulke closed out game 6 and never saw action in game 7.

Such an exhaustively researched book...surprised these inaccuracies showed up.

I remember similar inaccuracies in Mind Game. I wonder if they used that book as a source. :confused:

My memory of Papi's hit is that, blooped or ripped, it was just plain effective, skilled get the run in any way you can hitting. But Bellhorn's HR? I think the bounce back tells you there was nothing lazy about it.

i actually own 2 copies....i love it and refer to it when needed...
