Thousands of delirious fans streamed onto the field at Fenway Park mobbing the team, dismantling the scoreboard, climbing the screen behind home plate. It truly was, in the words of Sox radio announcer Ned Martin, “pandemonium on the field.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a tribute to the members of that team, with bios of all 39 players that year and appreciations of that remarkable season by Joe Castiglione, Ken Coleman, Gordon Edes, Peter Gammons, Jim Lonborg, and many more.
