Download Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season AudioBook Free
Who better to follow the fortunes of a 'cursed' team like the Boston Red Sox than two renowned horror writers and lifelong Red Sox addicts? Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan's email correspondence about the dramatic and finally heartbreaking 2003 season inspired the theory for FAITHFUL, a book that records the Sox's 2004 baseball season from learn to fabulous finish. As the hotly anticipated 2004 American League pennant race progressed, King and O'Nan kept a running diary of observations and arguments, analysing the top plays, the controversial managerial decisions, and the spectacular finish to the growing season. Red Sox fans have observed everything since 1918...except that elusive World Championship. The memory of 2003's devastating ALCS Game 7 loss and the anticipation of new ace Curt Schilling's impact made this season that much more compelling. Stephen King and Stewart O'Nan join all of those other Red Sox Nation to cheer on the Olde Town Team, with the eternal hope that this might be their year. On 27th October 2004, the Red Sox finally prevailed, taking an unassailable 4-0 lead on the St. Louis Cardinals in the best of seven World Series.For baseball fans, FAITHFUL is another best thing to season tickets behind the first-base dugout.
