The team now known as the Boston Red Sox played its first season in 1901. The city of Boston had a well-established National League team, known at the time as the Beaneaters, but the founders of the American League knew that Boston was a strong baseball market and when they launched the league as a new major league in 1901, they went head-to-head with the N.L. in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Boston. Chicago won the American League pennant and Boston finished second, just four games behind.The Boston Americans played in a new ballpark - the Huntington Avenue Grounds - literally on the other side of the railroad tracks from the Beaneaters and they out-drew the Beaneaters by more than 2-1, in part because they had enticed some of the more popular players - player/manager Jimmy Collins, pitcher Cy Young, and slugger Buck Freeman.This volume represents the collective work of more than 25 members of SABR-the Society for American Baseball Research. It offers individual biographies of the players, team owner Charles Somers, league founder Ban Johnson, and two of the team's most noted fans: Hi Hi Dixwell and Nuf Ced McGreevy. There is also a "biography" of the Huntington Avenue Grounds ballpark and a study of media coverage of Boston baseball in 1901, and a timeline running from the first spring training through that year's postseason games.… (más)

In which is chronicled the first season of American League baseball in Boston, under the flag of the Somersets (a/k/a Americans, as relentlessly dubbed by the contributors herein). After sections detailing the formation of the American League and the club itself, most of the remainder of the book is taken up by player profiles and a chronology of the year. The player profiles do not emphasize the 1901 season itself, rather serving as mini-biographies, which makes them longish, and, taken with a goofy emphasis which leads to such anomalies as a nobody who played in one game receiving a longer profile than Old Cy Young, makes them sometimes tedious and weighed down with an avalanche of genealogical detail which would have the head of the LDS genealogical library begging them to stop. The chronology is generated partially from newspapers of the day and is also interesting, if also a bit long. For a book which purports to have four editors, the book is a little sloppy; spelling and usage are acceptable, but paragraphs repeat at times, and different contributors basically go over the same territory in different places. As a reference book, this has worthwhile information, and fans of the Red Sox or of deadball baseball will enjoy it, but any wider audience is difficult to visualize. ( )
