The Face Behind The Mask is a non-fiction book that tells the story of John Minahan, who spent more than two decades as the public face of the Boston Red Sox. From the moment he was chosen to replace the retiring Tom Yawkey as the team's president in 1984, Minahan was thrust into the public eye and was expected to turn around a struggling franchise. He did just that, leading the Red Sox to their first World Series win in 86 years, and then repeated the feat in 2004. The Face Behind The Mask is a story of triumph, tragedy, and the never-ending challenge of running a successful sports franchise.; 8vo; $6.00.
