From Big Bill Dinneen to Keith Foulke; 50 games, 101 yearsBy The Ginger ManThe authors have set themselves the difficult task of deciding which Red Sox games are not in the top 50. My personal feeling is that you cannot leave out the clinching playoff game against the Indians in 1999 in which an injured Pedro Martinez comes out of the bullpen to pitch hitless relief while Troy O'Leary clinches the series with a grand slam.Overall though, Tan and Nowlin do a good job of selecting games from all Red Sox eras without overemphasizing the most recent. They do an especially good job describing games from early 20th century world championship runs. Extensive research was done and is obvious in the text. I most enjoyed the quotes from newspapers of the time written in syntax that could have come out of Guys and Dolls. Each game summary is 3-4 pages long. I think play by play detail is stressed at the expense of placing the game in full context. But the book is fun to read especially at the beach or during a baseball game in which the Sox have a big lead and you are passing the time.This is probably a book for Sox fans only and one that would not likely have been written without the success of 2004. Older fans can relive some great moments while newer Sox followers (and they do seem to sprout up everywhere) can use this book as a primer on seasons they have missed.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. must have for Red Sox Nation citizensBy Mike ClarkAll Red Sox games are great!! this collection highlights those "best of the best"!

This new edition also adds a new game to the list, a bonus chapter on Jon Lester's no-hitter in 2008. From history-making plays to historic achievements, Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin recreate the suspense, excitement, and drama of every game on the list.

"Any guesses as to which game Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin choose as the greatest of them all in their Fifty Greatest Red Sox Games (Wiley)? Correct. And second to that magic engagement that spanned Oct. 17 and 18, 2004, is Sunday, Oct. 12, 1986, best remembered for Dave Henderson's exculpatory home run and sacrifice fly against the Angels. It saved the Red Sox from extinction in the ALCS, propelling them toward Oct. 25, 1986, the sixth greatest contest, according to the two savants, synonymous though it is with the expression 'Bill Buckner.' The games, which range from 1903 to 2004, are excellently described and reflected upon—as well as highly debatable, making the book a bible for bibulous evenings." (The Boston Globe) "Here's the deal. It costs about $43 for a grandstand seat at Fenway Park these days, unless you buy the ticket from a scalper, which makes the cost $2,000,000. If you went to just 50 games of any dimension that means the cost would be either $2150 or $1,000,000,000. Here, for considerably less, you get the 50 GREATEST games the Red Sox ever played plus tight prose, snappy anecdotes and reasoned judgements. Bargains like this don't come often. Plus, you don't even have to pay for parking."—Leigh Montville, author Ted Williams: The Biography of an American Hero"It’s a daunting task, but Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have come up with the Red Sox greatest hits album, the box set. Enjoy."—Dan Shaughnessy, author of Reversing the Curse"Old Towne Team fans will think they have died and gone to heaven with The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games in their grasp. Informative, exciting, entertaining...Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin have done a good deed for the Fenway faithful."—Harvey Frommer, co-author, Red Sox Vs. Yankees: The Great RivalryFrom the Inside FlapWhere were you when Roger Clemens notched his first 20-strikeout game? Did your grandfather regale you with moral lessons to be gleaned from the last day of Ted Williams's phenomenal .406 season? Did you groan in accustomed agony as that weak little nubber rolled between Bill Buckner's legs? Are you still energized by reliving that incredible day—October 27, 2004—when the curse was shattered and the Red Sox won the World Series after 86 years of dashed hopes?Every Red Sox fan cherishes memories that will never be forgotten and wonders what it would have been like to be in the park for other outstanding moments from the team's checkered past. Covering an entire century of Boston baseball, The 50 Greatest Red Sox Games lets you relive the very best (and agonizingly worst) moments experienced by the team that has lifted more spirits and broken more hearts than any other sports franchise on the planet. From history- making plays to incredible individual achievements, from regular season games to post-season knuckle-biters, Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin recreate the suspense, excitement, and drama of every contest—and you're sitting right behind home plate when the action begins.Drawing upon in-depth research, including contemporary pre- and post-game player interviews, Tan and Nowlin devote each action-packed chapter to a single, legendary game. They quote newspaper and magazine accounts of the day, cite personal recollections from players and managers, and provide box scores, stirring vintage photos, and comments about the people, places, and events that gave each game a permanent place in Red Sox lore.
