Blood Feud: The Red Sox, the Yankees, and the Struggle of Good versus Evil

"Blood Feud" revels in the differences separating the Red Sox and the Yankees, including divergences in culture, geography, attitude, and personal grooming. Yet the authors also recognize the parallels and commonalities between the two ball clubs, which over the years have shared a surprising number of star players and coaches. "Blood Feud" dissects the pivotal personnel trades and transactions, the tangles, the tirades that continue to add gasoline to the fire. Drawing on historical research, original interviews with players from both sides, and discussions with partisans of each team among the fans, "Blood Feud" is leavened with humor, philosophical musings, anecdotes, and innumerable enlightening factoids. Make no mistake -- this is war... -- From publisher's description.
