 Red Sox Book Review October 26, 2005
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book has all the important information you would want on the Red Sox. All the players stats are included. The only down side to this book is the section that is dedicated to crosswords.
Good, but dated June 26, 2000
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
The Red Sox Trivia Book was published in 1993, so it only covers history until 1992. It does provide a brief (50-page) history of the Red Sox, followed by crossword puzzles and trivia questions, and an all-time player list as of 1992. The questions themselves might be challenging for the average fan, but a real Red Sox trivia buff will not find them all that obscure. And they're directly based on the history chapter, so if you're going to buy the book to answer the trivia questions, try them before reading the history, or you'll likely be disappointed.
 It was really good April 23, 2000

It is really good. It includes all kinds of different trivia questions about the Red Sox history, past and present day. I suggest it.
