West of Boston

Growing up Red sox in a Yankee Household

Travel back to suburban Boston of the 1960s and 70s with Bill and his brothers Mark and Ron. While following their beloved but pathetic Boston Red Sox, the boys are busy carving out their individual athletic paths. However, everything changes as the Impossible Dream season of 1967 puts the Red Sox on center stage for every Boston sports fan. The only complication for Bill and his brothers is their Dad is a Yankee fan! Follow Bill all the way to Yankee Stadium in October of 2004 as the Sox complete the greatest comeback in all of sports, beating the hated Yankees on their way to their first World Series victory in 86 years.

Reviews for West of Boston:

“West of Boston tells of those “less than” years of the Red Sox, that emotional roller coaster ride every Red Sox fan has been on. There's a bigger story here though. It is one of a healthy perspective of growing from personal defeats. Keep writing, coach, I enjoyed every page!”

— Eagle Reader, Amazon Review

“This is an authentic story about perspective, opportunity, and the twists and turns of a life well-lived. As a Massachusetts resident myself, Bill sounds exactly like the kind of guy you'd want to sit next to in Fenway Park!”
