2014 marks the 10th anniversary of the 2004 Red Sox and there will be at least three books published this year celebrating that amazing team and unbelievable season. (Disclosure: I co-wrote one of them.)
Idiots Revisited: Catching Up With the Red Sox Who Won the 2004 World Series (Tilbury House Publishers (April 1, 2014))
By Ian Browne
Foreword by David Ortiz
Don't Let Us Win Tonight: An Oral History of the 2004 Boston Red Sox's Impossible Playoff Run (Triumph Books (Available Now))
By Allan Wood and Bill Nowlin
Foreword by Kevin Millar
Miracle at Fenway: The Inside Story of the Boston Red Sox 2004 Championship Season (St. Martin's Press (July 15, 2014))
By Saul Wisnia
Foreword by Dave Roberts
[No art yet]
For Don't Let Us Win Tonight, Bill and I conducted about 50 interviews, talking to almost all of the 26 guys on the postseason rosters, as well as coaches, trainers (and Dr. Morgan), and front office personnel. The book covers only the three weeks of the postseason.
Ian also talked to some players for his book, but fewer than we did, I believe. I have not seen his book yet.
All I know about Saul's book is that it's an oral history of the entire season - and relies on interviews with both players and fans. His publication date was pushed back to July.
