Summary: One strike away-a painful reminder to Red Sox Nation of the 1986 Red Sox team that, until the 2004 World Series champions, came the closest to delivering that elusive trophy back to Boston for the first time since 1918. It was a team constructed by Lou Gorman, who was in the early stages of a 10-year run that produced three playoff teams, plenty of excitement, and more than its share of controversy. In One Pitch from Glory: A Decade of Running the Red Sox, he shares rare and private stories about constructing a team in one of the most demanding markets in the world.
