In the years before the Curse of the Bambino descended on New England, the Boston Red Sox rode major league baseball like a colossus, capturing four World Series titles in seven seasons. Blessed with legendary players like Babe Ruth, Tris Speaker, Harry Hooper, and Smokey Joe Wood, and a brand new, thoroughly modern stadium, the Red Sox reigned as kings of the Deadball Era. Just in time for the centenary of baseball's hallowed Fenway Park and the dawn of the Red Sox dynasty, Thomas J. Whalen gracefully recounts the rise and fall of one of baseball's greatest teams.
Thomas J. Whalen is an associate professor of social science at Boston University and author of Kennedy versus Lodge, A Higher Purpose, and Dynasty's End. An expert in modern American politics, American foreign policy, and the American presidency, Whalen's commentary has appeared in the New York Times, ABCNews.com, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, the Boston Globe, the Los Angeles Times, Politico, and the Associated Press. He has also appeared on several national broadcast outlets including CNN, NPR, and Reuters TV.
