'75: The Red Sox Team that Saved Baseball[This book was distributed in the registration package at our Fall Regional, November 2005 and it is now available for purchase from Rounder Books (617 354-0700), $11.99 + TS&H. --Ed.]
by the Boston Chapter, SABR (Cambridge: Rounder Books), November 2005In 1975, the Red Sox played in the most-watched World Series in history, an epic seven-game battle with Cincinnati's Big Red Machine that captivated the nation's attention and revived baseball's lagging popularity. '75 tells the stories of the lives of the 37 men who made up the Red Sox roster, from stars like Yaz, Pudge, and El Tiante, to the mop-up men and bench-warmers who were along for the wild ride. A score of authors, researchers, and baseball enthusiasts from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) have collaborated to present these biographies in a single volume. Drawing on many exclusive interviews with players and the archives of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, '75 contains many stories that have never been heard before. Enhanced with photographs and ephemera from the memorabilia collections of dedicated fans, '75 is a unique treasure for anyone who remembers Fisk waving his arms in the October night.
