Product Description
Boston Red Sox icon Johnny Pesky ranks the five best players at each position to ever take the field in this subjective analysis. Featured players include Mo Vaughn, Jimmie Foxx, Ted Williams, Cy Young, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, Jim Rice, Bill Lee, and Nomar Garciaparra.
About the Author
Johnny Pesky has served the Red Sox in virtually every capacity—as an All-Star player, a coach, a manager, a broadcaster, and a goodwill ambassador—over parts of seven decades. A Boston legend, Pesky has worn the uniform longer than anyone else, and his namesake “Pesky Pole” marks the right field foul line at Fenway Park. Phil Pepe is the author of more than 40 books on sports, including collaborations with Yankees legends Mickey Mantle, Billy Martin, and Whitey Ford. He is a former Yankees beat writer for the New York Daily News and a former president of the Baseball Writers Association of America. Carl Yastrzemski is a former player for the Boston Red Sox, a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, an 18-time All-Star, and the recipient of seven Gold Gloves. Ben Affleck is a critically acclaimed filmmaker, an actor, and a philanthropist. He is a fan of the Boston Red Sox.

4.0 out of 5 stars
fun book,
By Chris Thomas "chrtho" (Louisiana (transplanted Red Sox fan)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Few And Chosen:Red Sox Greatness (Hardcover)
A fun book. A good idea to have a player rank other players. Too many errors, though. Misspells Boo Ferriss name, and some others. Some facts are wrong, too. The book says Pesky held the ball so one wonders did he really write it? And why is there a picture of Mickey Mantle swinging at a ball inside both the front and back covers? Is that a publisher's joke to anger Red Sox fans?It's still fun, though.
