{"product_id":"9781943816194","title":"The 1986 Boston Red Sox: There Was More Than Game Six","description":"One of a two-book series on the rivals that met in the 1986 World Series, the Boston Red Sox and the New York Mets, including biographies of every player, coach, broadcaster, and other important figures in the top organizations in baseball that year. \u003cp\u003eThis book on the 1986 season re-tells the story of that year's classic World Series. After four games, each team had won two away games and neither had won at home. Then the Red Sox won Game Five at Fenway, and were one game away from winning their first World Championship in 86 years. It came to the point they were one pitch away from baseball Nirvana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd then....\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJust about everyone knows what happened, but there are takes on it here you might not have read elsewhere. Mostly, this is the story of each of the players, coaches, managers, and broadcasters, their lives in baseball and the way the 1986 season fit into their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with many of the books published by the Society of American Baseball Research, this was a true collaborative effort. There are 74 different SABR members who contributed to making these two books on the Mets and Red Sox a reality. It took us two books to tell the story as well as we wanted. Be sure to pick up the companion 1986 New York Mets book for the rest of the story!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents: \u003cbr\u003eTony Armas by Augusto Cardenas \u003cbr\u003eMarty Barrett by Mark Kanter\u003cbr\u003eDon Baylor by Malcolm Allen \u0026amp; Alfonso L Tusa C\u003cbr\u003eWade Boggs by Steve West\u003cbr\u003eOil Can Boyd by Bill Nowlin \u003cbr\u003eMike Brown by Nick Waddell\u003cbr\u003eBill Buckner by Dave Williams\u003cbr\u003eRoger Clemens by Rick Bush\u003cbr\u003eSteve Crawford by John DiFonzo\u003cbr\u003ePat Dodson by Bob LeMoine\u003cbr\u003eDwight Evans by Bill Nowlin \u003cbr\u003eWes Gardner by Joanne Hulbert\u003cbr\u003eRich Gedman by Tyler Ash\u003cbr\u003eMike Greenwell by Joe Wancho\u003cbr\u003eDave Henderson by Paul Hensler\u003cbr\u003eGlenn Hoffman by Clayton Trutor\u003cbr\u003eBruce Hurst by Gregory H Wolf\u003cbr\u003eTim Lollar by Gregory H Wolf \u003cbr\u003eSteve Lyons by Donna L Halper \u003cbr\u003eAl Nipper by Gregory H Wolf\u003cbr\u003eSpike Owen by Norm King\u003cbr\u003eRey Quinones by John Gregory\u003cbr\u003eJim Rice by Alex Edelman\u003cbr\u003eEd Romero by Bill Nowlin\u003cbr\u003eKevin Romine by Thomas Ayers \u003cbr\u003eJoe Sambito by Gene Gumbs\u003cbr\u003eDave Sax by Rich Bogovich \u003cbr\u003eCalvin Schiraldi by David Forrester \u003cbr\u003eTom Seaver by Maxwell Kates\u003cbr\u003eJeff Sellers by Niall Adler\u003cbr\u003eBob Stanley by Will Anderson\u003cbr\u003eDave Stapleton by Tyler Ash\u003cbr\u003eMike Stenhouse by Mark Sternman\u003cbr\u003eSammy Stewart by Bill Nowlin\u003cbr\u003eMarc Sullivan by Armand Peterson \u003cbr\u003eLaSchelle Tarver by Mike Richard\u003cbr\u003eMike Trujillo by Mike Richard\u003cbr\u003eRob Woodward by Bob LeMoine \u003cbr\u003eOwner, Jean Yawkey by Joan M Thomas\u003cbr\u003eGeneral Manager, Lou Gorman by Daniel R Levitt\u003cbr\u003eManager, John McNamara by Mark Armour\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoaches \u003cbr\u003eBill Fischer by Bob LeMoine\u003cbr\u003eWalt Hriniak by David E Skelton \u003cbr\u003eRene Lachemann by Norm King \u003cbr\u003eJoe Morgan by Rory Costello \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroadcasters \u003cbr\u003eJoe Castiglione by Curt Smith\u003cbr\u003eKen Coleman by Curt Smith\u003cbr\u003eNed Martin by Bob LeMoine\u003cbr\u003eBob Montgomery by Bill Nowlin \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix 1986 Red Sox Games \u003cbr\u003eApril 29, 1986 by Cecilia Tan and Bill Nowlin\u003cbr\u003eMay 19, 1986 by Michael Huber\u003cbr\u003eMay 20, 1986 by Doug Skipper\u003cbr\u003eAugust 21, 1986 by Bill Nowlin\u003cbr\u003eSeptember 4, 1986 - Mets\/Red Sox exhibition game by Saul Wisnia \u003cbr\u003eSeptember 28, 1986 by Tom Flynn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1986 American League Championship Series by Allan Wood \u003cbr\u003eWhy was Bill Buckner still on the field at the end of Game Six? by Bill Nowlin \u003cbr\u003eThe Revenge of 1912 by David Kaiser\u003cbr\u003eA Parade for the Fallen by Bob Brady\u003cbr\u003eThe 1986 World Series by Matthew Silverman\u003cbr\u003eMike Sergio by Bill Nowlin\u003cbr\u003eBy The Numbers by Dan Fields\u003cbr\u003eHow the Red Sox Were Built by Rod Nelson\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Society for American Baseball Research","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47033839943920,"sku":"9781943816194","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781943816194_p0.jpg?v=1763791036","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781943816194","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
