This is two guys talking baseball. But these two guys, King and O'Nan, aren't just talking about any old baseball. They're talking about the magical 2004 season that brought redemption to the long-suffering Boston Red Sox The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Red Sox are a member and currently champions of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball’s American League. From to the present, the Red Sox have played in Fenway Park.  and their loyal fans. Their observations, personal comments about players and management, and mid-game small talk bring the listener right into the hallowed confines of Fenway Park or road game stadiums. Including e-mails, newspaper articles, conversations, and interviews with players, sportswriters and sportscasters, this is pure ear candy for any baseball fan. McLarty and Grupper speak as the two authors, and they're just, well, two guys talking baseball. When King and O'Nan decided to chronicle the 2004 season, they of course had no idea how it would end up, but they did have one sure thing going for them: their undying faith in the team that was still laboring under the legendary Curse of the Bambino The Curse of the Bambino was a superstition cited, often jokingly, as a reason for the failure of the Boston Red Sox baseball team to win the World Series in the 86 year period from 1918 until 2004. . Could the name of their book have been more appropriate? Sixteen hours about one of the great sports stories of all times and two superb readers make this audiobook a story for the ages.
