Publisher's Summary
Boston Globe sports columnist Dan Shaughnessy traces the bewitching story of the curse that has lain over the Red Sox since they sold Babe Ruth to the hated Yankees in 1920.
He sheds light on classic Sox debacles, from Johnny Pesky's so-called hesitation throw to the horrifying dribbler that slithered between Bill Buckner's legs. Lively and filled with anecdotes, this is baseball folklore at its best.

Critic Reviews
"Shaughnessy emerges as something like a jock. Hawthorne, evoking the muse and writing of witchcraft, foiled heroism, and the scarlett letter B upon every Red Sox fanÆs breast. (Scott Booth, The National)
"A wonderful book that performs magnificently on every levelùas history, as mythology, as drama, and as pure entertainment." (Doris Kearns Goodwin)
"The quintessential New England horror story. Read it and weep." (Stephen King)
