The 1986 Boston Red Sox: There Was More Than Game Six (SABR Digital Library Book 36)

One of a two-book set featuring the two teams that went head to head in the 1986 World Series, one book on the Mets, and one on the Red Sox. These Red Sox were full of drama all year long, long before Bill Buckner's gaffe. Roger Clemens was young, so was Calvin Schiraldi. The book includes biographies of every player on the 1986 roster, all the coaches, manager, announcers, and write-ups of several key games from the season as well as the World Series.

This book on the 1986 season re-tells the story of that yearâ€™s classic World Series. After four games, each team had won two away games and neither had won at home. Then the Red Sox won Game Five at Fenway, and were one game away from winning their first World Championship in 86 years. It came to the point they were one pitch away from baseball Nirvana.

And then....

Just about everyone knows what happened, but there are takes on it here you might not have read elsewhere. Mostly, this is the story of each of the players, coaches, managers, and broadcasters, their lives in baseball and the way the 1986 season fit into their lives.

As with many of the books published by the Society of American Baseball Research, this was a true collaborative effort. There are 74 different SABR members who contributed to making these two books on the Mets and Red Sox a reality. It took us two books to tell the story as well as we wanted. Be sure to pick up the companion 1986 New York Mets book for the rest of the story!
