Progress of the Seasons: Forty Years of Baseball in Our Town Hardcover
George V. Higgins
Higgins grew up in Boston, and in this history of the Red Sox, he weaves the events of his life into the hometown backdrop of athletic non-achievement at the shrine of Fenway Park. Indoctrinated into the sect of Red Sox fandom at 7, when his father, a school principal, and his banker grandfather took him to Fenway in 1946 (year Sox infielder Johnny Pesky was late throwing home in the World Series), the author alternately recalls and rails at the goings-on of the past 40 years.
The Sox haven't won the World Series since 1918, but each season begins with fans devoutly believing that this is the year the Sox win the Series. Higgins's affectionate look at the Sox is enhanced by an unabashed Boston boosterism and a reminiscence of his baseball-oriented family.
