Progress of the Seasons: Forty Years of Baseball in Our Town

George V. Higgins. Prentice Hall, $8.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-13-728304-0

Higgins grew up in Boston, and in this history of the Red Sox, he weaves the events of his life into the hometown backdrop of athletic non-achievement at the shrine of Fenway Park. ``At times Higgins appears mired in a lengthy newspaper column on Sox fans' frustrations; however, his obvious love, zeal and attachment to the subject enable him to tell his tale with style,'' said PW.
