Campeones mundiales al fin! (Faithful): Como los Medias Rojas lograron ganar la serie del 2004 (Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season)

by Stewart O'Nan, Stephen King

Overview

A comienzos de 2004, dos escritores y fanaticos de los Medias Rojas, Stewart O'Nan y Stephen King, decidieron hacer una cronica personal de la nueva temporada, una de las mas fervientemente esperadas en la historia del beisbol. Durante los meses que siguieron compartieron asientos en el Fenway, intercambiaron emails y escribieron acerca de los juegos; terminaron siendo testigos de uno de los mas notables retornos deportivos, el primer campeonato ganado por los Medias Rojas en ochenta y siete anos. Lo que comenzo para dos fanaticos como un verano mas, lleno de expectativas, es ahora un verdadero testimonio historico.

Editorial Reviews

"En ultima instancia, !Campeones mundiales al fin! es un libro quasi-religioso que habla acerca de lo que deberia ser la base de toda religion: el amor — el amor en toda su ceguera, terror, euforia, pureza y, porque no, capacidad adictiva."
— Dennis Lehane, Entertainment Weekly

"King y O'Nan son la clase de fanaticos que uno quiere tener al lado en un juego de beisbol: saben de lo que hablan, opinan con fundamento, son divertidos e irreverentes."
— Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today

²!Campeones mundiales al fin! no es solo un libro sobre los Medias Rojas; es tambien un libro acerca de la familia, de la amistad, y de lo que realmente significa ser un fanatico del beisbol — de lo que significa ser fieles, realmente fieles, en las buenas y en las malas....La temporada estuvo repleta de momentos inolvidables, y King y O'Nan los atrapan casi todos, de manera magistral."
— Frank Mosher, The Boston Globe
