Featuring more than 100 interviews with people associated with Red Sox baseball past and present, Interviews from Red Sox™ Nationprovides stories and insight into the world of Red Sox baseball directly from those who know it best. The interviews include current Red Sox players, top minor league prospects, well-known former players, coaches, general mangers, broadcasters, sportswriters, and historians, and while many of the names are familiar, their stories and opinions are not. The extensive interviews allow the reader to hear and understand the people at a level removed from editorializing and in the context of their own words instead of short sound bites or quotes. Stories and insights are provided from such players as Curt Schilling, Kevin Youkilis, and Craig Hansen; front office personnel Ben Cherington and Dan Duquette; PA announcer Carl Beane and official scorer Charles Scoggins; newspaper writers Bob Ryan and Bob Hohler; announcers Don Orsillo and Joe Castiglione; former players Rico Petrocelli and Tim Naehring; and prospects Jon Lester and Jonathan Papelbon. Interviews from Red Sox™ Nationoffers fans an understanding of all things Red Sox unlike anything else available on the team. A publication of Maple Street Press, distributed by Potomac Books, Inc.
