Publisher's summary

A unique look at the inner workings of a major league baseball team and how the Red Sox went from perennial losers to baseball's next dynasty.

When the Boston Red Sox defeated the Colorado Rockies in the 2007 World Series, they did more than win their second world championship in four seasons - they changed forever the identity of a franchise once defined by its spectacular failures. If winning the 2004 World Series permanently buried Boston’s tragic past, the team’s 2007 championship reinforced its promising future while changing the culture, mentality, and mind-set of the Red Sox and their followers.

But the team's meteoric rise was not without controversy, and behind-the-scene clashes and infighting within the organization are revealed here in detail for the first time: The wildly popular pitcher Pedro Martinez and outfield sensation Johnny Damon were allowed to depart as free agents, and the Red Sox had to endure the temporary resignation of General Manager Theo Epstein

.Author Tony Massarotti has been covering the Red Sox since the 1991 season and in Dynasty, Massarotti provides an in-depth and probing look at how the Red Sox became the most successful franchise in baseball.

Great book but audio bad

Nicholas Tecosky was terrible.He is clearly not a baseball fan and he was terrible with the name of most of the players names, he just butchered them.I have listened to many books on audible and why wouldn’t he or the producer review his work on this book he was just terrible.

Worst narrator ever

The writing style of this book is repetitive, but that’s far from the worst part. The person hired to read this was so bad as to be distracting. Dozens of cases of mispronouncing names, including a number of players who were integral to the story. These should’ve been easily correctable mistakes, but were clearly ignored. I’d give 0 stars if I could.

If Red Sox fans are looking for a simple retelling of the groundwork that went into building the World Series champions in 2004 and 2007, I’d recommend reading it yourself.

Maybe learn how to pronounce the players names?

It's Kevin MILLAR not Kevin Miller! The narrator really pulls you out of the story by not understanding these important nuances. A little research on his part would have gone a long way and made the listening experience much more satisfying.
