The Boston Red Sox (Writing Baseball)

Summary: The Way It Used to Be But Really Wasn't
Review: Once uopn a time this is the way baseball history used to be written: Take one old sportswriter, slap together some anecdotes, attack your enemies, protect your friends, kiss the rear ends of the powerful, call it history. Fortunately, we're all much wiser now. So much of Lieb's work has been disproven that books like these really deserve to be considered works of fiction. Interesting as a historical document, but useless as history. Absolutely everything covered by this book has been covered much much better elsewhere.
