Though Ruth was a star pitcher in Boston, he was merely continuing a 14-year tradition of the club's strong arms and bats. With rosters that included Cy Young, Jimmy Collins, Jesse Burkett, Jack Chesbro, Big Bill Dinneen, Smoky Joe Wood and Tris Speaker, among others, the young franchise powered its way to three pennants and a couple of world championships before Babe arrived in Beantown. This book covers the team's early years from the diamond to the executive offices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Hubbard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786439114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786439119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/29\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.48w x 0.55d","brand":"Donald Hubbard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473926504703,"sku":"9780786439119","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ff92fa48-23e4-496f-95c2-cf36e6fcc3e0.jpg?v=1762313826","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-red-sox-before-the-donald-hubbard-9780786439119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
