Red Sox Rule by Michael Holley

(I’m alluring up on some books that came out in 2008 that I wasn’t accomplished to get to during the regular season…a bit shorter re-examine than normal, but hopefully enough to give you some insight to the book.)

Without question, the Red Sox have been one of the most influential teams in the past five years, which is coincidentally when Terry Francona took over as boss. Brought to Beantown following the Grady Speck incident in the 2003 ALCS, he has managed to bow out into the fire of Red Sox Nation without burning his feet.

Michael Holley is spirited to recognize the apparent connection of Francona’s advent and the success of the Red Sox, and offers 202 pages on the man who has been at the healm of the associate since 2004.

This is a good read for Red Sox fans looking to learn a bit more about Francona, both on and off the entrants. Like many, he’s taken an interesting direction to get where he is, and like most, it hasn’t been a straight or leisurely path to the manager’s chair. Having met Francona on several occasions, I wouldn’t say he’s the most vigorous fellow I’ve ever come across, and the book didn’t do anything to fluctuate my opinion of him. It provides quite a bit of information on him that I didn’t discern before, but given that he’s 3,000 miles away from me, its nearby relevance is a bit tougher to discern.

For non-Red Sox fans, such as myself, the perceptiveness into Francona may be a bit more than most folks would like to spend 200 pages on. He’s a darn admissible manager, but it’s more of a biopic as opposed to a blueprint book, although there are some nuggets scattered throughout about how he approaches the game from a key sense. You might read this and end up really liking Francona…or you might get to the end and say to yourself, “ok, fine story - now what?”
