<DIV><B>&ldquo;A true insider&rsquo;s perspective on the 2004 Red Sox&rdquo; and their World Series win, from the bestselling author of <I>Curse of the Bambino</I> (<I>USA Today</I>).</B><BR /><BR /> On October 27, 2004, the Red Sox won their first World Series Championship in eighty-six years&mdash;breaking the infamous Curse of the Bambino and giving diehard fans the thrill of a lifetime.<BR /> &#160;<BR /><I>Reversing the Curse</I> preserves one of the greatest stories in sports history with an absorbing account of the team&mdash;a raggedy lineup of motorcycle-riding, whiskey-drinking rogues&mdash;and the key events that led to their incredible championship victory. A more epic sports saga could not have been invented: Here we have the curse that began with Babe Ruth; a team of comeback kids determined to prove their mettle; the perennial rivalry against the Yankees; and a historic win that was celebrated around the world.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> Dan Shaughnessy captures the Sox triumph in all its drama and euphoria with penetrating insight, a keen sense of history, and unparalleled insider access. With photographs by the Pulitzer Prize&ndash;winning photographer Stan Grossfeld, <I>Reversing the Curse</I> is the definitive record of a landmark moment in baseball history.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;[Shaughnessy is] adept at capturing the mood, the emotion, the palpable feel of the Boston-New York showdown.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>The New York Times</I><BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;In story after story of near-triumph, the book should delight the team&rsquo;s most fanatically loyal followers.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Publishers Weekly</I></DIV>
