Mind Game: How the Boston Red Sox Got Smart, Won a World Series, and Created a New Blueprint for Winning13 reviews
Steve Goldman, Baseball Prospectus Team of Experts

+ If They Were Smart in 2004...What Happened in 2006?

Excellent contemporary fiction whether you love the Sox or not
FENWAY FICTION, edited by Adam Pachter
