Reviews

Even Yankee fans will have much to consider from this book, published so soon after the Red Sox curse has ended. This is an important work of the sociology of sport and of urban sociology. GARY ALAN FINE, author of With the Boys: Little League Baseball and Preadolescent Culture Even if you don't already love the Red Sox, you'll love this account of the stories people tell about why Fenway matters. NANCY T. AMMERMAN, author of Everyday Religion: Observing Modern Religious Lives
