Fever Pitch (2005) Jimmy Fallon, Drew Barrymore.
Like a typical Red Sox season, this Red Sox love movie raised high hopes but ultimately kind of sucked. It was so bad it made me not want to see any more Drew Barrymore movies for a while. Thank god it didn’t star Scarlett Johansson!

rating: 9.5

Reverse of the Curse of the Bambino (2004)
This HBO documentary examining the fragile psyche of the Sox fan and the history of team letdowns is the best movie ever made, bar none. It was first made in 2003 as The Curse of the Bambino, and it was good then. Victory just made it perfect.

rating 10

Red Sox Century, by Glen Stout and Richard A. Johnson (2000, 2005) A coffee table history book as big as third base, with 500 pages of vintage photos and textbook agony. That is to say, a beginner’s guide to being a Sox fan.
rating: 5

The Big Bam: The Life & Times of Babe Ruth (2006) by Leigh Montville
A great read; although Ruth's life has been well-documented in several biographies, Montville digs even deeper. Sox fans will loathe Harry Frazee even more!
