Title: The Boys of October Author: Hornig ISBN: 0071431934 Category: Sports/Baseball Trim Size: 6 x 9 UPC: 639785385141 Price: $14.95 [category] Sports/Baseball "A replay of another sort, a psalm, really, to the '75 Red Sox. [It] transcend[s] the box-score mentality of so much sportswriting. . . . very fine." --The New York Times Book Review In 1975, Americans needed something to cheer for, something that would shake them out of their united melancholy. The Vietnam War had divided them, a bad economy had broken them down, and Nixon had betrayed them; even baseball had seemed to lose its hold over them. That "something" came in the fall--a World Series masterpiece between the seemingly unbeatable Cincinnati Reds and the underdog Boston Red Sox. A classic David versus Goliath matchup, the seven championship games thrilled a nation with the on-field heroics and never-say-die attitude. In The Boys of October, lifelong Red Sox fan Doug Hornig skillfully weaves together his first-person interviews with members of the '75 Sox and exciting play-by-play of the Series' most memorable moments with a moving memoir of his relationship with his favorite uncle, a fellow Sox devotee and retired baseball player. Hornig's lyrical prose takes us back to that exhilarating autumn, when Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Luis Tiant, and the ragtag Boys from Beantown faced Cincinnati's Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and the rest of the indomitable "Big Red Machine" in an epic seven-game struggle that is still widely regarded as the greatest ever played. Doug Hornig has published seven suspense novels, one of which was nominated for an Edgar. He has also written articles for suchpublications as Playboy, BusinessWeek, The Writer, and Gadfly. A native New Englander, he still follows the Sox from his home in Afton, Virginia.

An inspiring look at the underdog heroes of the 1975 World Series In the fall of 1975, the country was mired in the aftereffects of the war in Vietnam, economic distress, and lingering political turmoil from the Watergate scandal. Amid these trying times, Americans were desperate for some kind of diversion--anything to take their minds away from the harsh news of the day. That diversion arrived in the form of an unforgettable Fall Classic that truly would live up to its name. In his lyrical prose, lifelong Boston Red Sox fan Doug Hornig takes readers back to that exhilarating autumn in 1975, when Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, Luis Tiant, and the ragtag Boys from Beantown faced Cincinnati's Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, and the rest of the indomitable "Big Red Machine" in an epic seven-game struggle that is still widely regarded as the greatest ever played. Doug Hornig was there--with his favorite uncle, Oscar, by his side, a man old enough to dimly recall the last time the Sox won a Series, back in 1918. Together, in the stands at cozy Fenway or in front of a snowy black-and-white TV, they watched and waited and prayed. In the end, the Curse of the Bambino struck again, but not before the Red Sox gave us one hell of a show. For twelve wonderful days, Americans were able to put aside their more serious concerns and lose themselves in the drama unfolding on two small fields of green. As the author so eloquently puts it, "For that lovely, long October moment, we became as children once again. And that is a gift of incalculable value." Years later, moved by memories of that incomparable series, Hornig set out to meet and interview the members of the 1975 Boston Red Sox,a cast of characters that included party animals and pot smokers, with nicknames like Pudge and Yaz, Carbs and Willow, Senor and the Spaceman.
