There is no more loyal fan base then those who follow the Boston Red Sox. And since the Red Sox Nation—and it is a nation, as the Sox draw bigger and bigger crowds across America—is made up of people who pride themselves on their knowledge of Boston names, stats, and history, they’ll love showing off their smarts with these fun crosswords. Why is seat number 21, in row 37 of section 42, painted red? What was Ted Williams’s career batting average? Filled with clues about the Red Sox, players past and present, legends and facts, and even Fenway Park itself, this is a great gift for anyone dedicated to New England’s hometown team.

Happy 100th Birthday, Fenway Park! "Stats" Pagano may have been born with a heart defect, but he lives for three things: his family's hot dog stand right outside fabled Fenway Park, his beloved Red Sox, and any baseball statistic imaginable. When the family can no longer make ends meet with the hot dog stand, life becomes worrisome for Stats. Then the Sox go on a long losing streak and the team's ace pitcher--and Stats's idol--becomes convinced the famed Curse of the Bambino has returned. Stats just has to help . . . but how? As the Sox faithful sour on their team, Stats forms a plan that ultimately unifies an entire city and proves that true loyalty has a magic all its own. In honor of Fenway Park's 100th birthday, baseball novelist John H. Ritter delivers an inspiring tale for the sports fan in each of us, regardless of team allegiance.
