Title: The Boys of October Author: Hornig ISBN: 0071431934 Category: Sports/Baseball Trim Size: 6 x 9 UPC: 639785385141 Price: $14.95 [category] Sports/Baseball "A replay of another sort, a psalm, really, to the '75 Red Sox. [It] transcend[s] the box-score mentality of so much sportswriting. . . . very fine." --The New York Times Book Review In 1975, Americans needed something to cheer for, something that would shake them out of their united melancholy. The Vietnam War had divided them, a bad economy had broken them down, and Nixon had betrayed them; even baseball had seemed to lose its hold over them. That "something" came in the fall--a World Series masterpiece between the seemingly unbeatable Cincinnati Reds and the underdog Boston Red Sox. A classic David versus Goliath matchup, the seven championship games thrilled a nation with the on-field heroics and never-say-die attitude. In The Boys of October, lifelong Red Sox fan Doug Hornig skillfully weaves together his first-person interviews with members of the '75 Sox and exciting play-by-play of the Series' most memorable moments with a moving memoir of his relationship with his favorite uncle, a fellow Sox devotee and retired baseball player. Hornig's lyrical prose takes us back to that exhilarating autumn, when Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Luis Tiant, and the ragtag Boys from Beantown faced Cincinnati's Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and the rest of the indomitable "Big Red Machine" in an epic seven-game struggle that is still widely regarded as the greatest ever played. Doug Hornig has published seven suspense novels, one of which was nominated for an Edgar. He has also written articles for suchpublications as Playboy, BusinessWeek, The Writer, and Gadfly. A native New Englander, he still follows the Sox from his home in Afton, Virginia.

For more than fifty years Red Barber was the voice of baseball. The game was broadcast sporadically until the late 193Os, when Barber burst into prominence by bringing it home to radio listeners, play by play. More than half a century later he could still be heard, broadcasting over National Public Radio from his retirement home in Tallahassee. Announcing for the Brooklyn Dodgers and later for the New York Yankees, he became a legend long before his death in 1992. Red's story reveals the growth and changes in baseball over the years, the demands of sportscasting, and the difference between radio and television reporting. Here is Red giving major play-by-plays of his own life and career with characteristic wit and integrity.
