Faithful: Two Diehard Boston Red Sox Fans Chronicle the Historic 2004 Season 
The Boston Red Sox won the world series a month ago and I have been having baseball withdrawal symptoms ever since. These symptoms will not go away completely until March 29, when next season starts. At the baseball book club here on goodreads we have the perfect tonic for the lack of baseball being played on the diamond: reading at least one baseball book a month until the season starts. In honor of the most recent Red Sox victory, our selection this month is Faithful, in which authors Stewart

I sort of wish they would have written more during the playoffs, but after a point there wasn't much left to say! Really enjoyed it.

As the title says, Faithful is about the 2004 Red Sox season. O'Nan and Stephen King write alternate chapters and discuss the team in depth and describe the games they get to see. King has season tickets and O'Nan has to scrounge for chances to go to the games.

Early in 2004, two writers and Red Sox fans, Stewart O'Nan and Stephen King, decided to chronicle the upcoming season, one of the most hotly anticipated in baseball history.

In the dead of winter I start getting all jittery when theres no baseball. Sorry, but football, basketball and hockey just cant fill the void. You know Stephen King has led a charmed life when he finally decides to co-write a fans-eye view of his favorite team and he chooses the season when they finally win the World Series after an 86-year drought. Faithful is an entertaining read, especially for this Red Sox fan who could use a little bit of baseball back in his life.
