theartolater's review against another edition
4.0
The whole "insider account" of the Red Sox following the 2004 World Series. Very little that's new here for people who obsessively follow the team, but a good, interesting Sox primer with some detail as to what it was like for us the last few years.

5.0
Interesting and well written, Mnookin follows the Boston Red Sox through their World Series season. He was given pretty much free reign behind the scenes, and there are a ton of great anecdotes scattered throughout. (Want to know what Papi's favorite swear word is? It's in here.) Even fans who don't really know the game should be fine - he does a great job at explaining the numbers and business side of baseball, the parts that I'm less familiar with. A must read for all Red Sox fans, and a truly enjoyable book.
