What a difference a millennium makes! With the "Curse" a distant memory, the Boston Red Sox are the first team this century to win two World Series titles. Before 2004, an obnoxious Yankees fan might have smirked: "The Boston Red Sox World Series Encyclopedia? The world's shortest book!"

In actual fact, the Bosox have played in 11 Series and won seven. Even during their storied 86-year drought, the Sox took three Series to Game Seven before losing.

The Boston Red Sox World Series Encyclopedia is the result of another collaboration by veteran Red Sox historians Bill Nowlin and Jim Prime - each with more than a dozen Sox books to their credit. The Encyclopedia includes full game accounts of every one of the 67 Series games played (to date) and profiles a significant player from each game. Richly supplemented with dozens of lists, tables, and stats, the book will provide a solid and eminently readable companion as the team prepares for additional Series in the years to come.
