If you are a fan of MLB then you will know that the Boston Red Sox is one of the most famous ball clubs in the world. Did you know that on 14 April 1967, 21-year old Billy Rohr of the Boston Red Sox made his MLB debut in Yankee Stadium?  In a memorable game the left-handed pitcher came within one out of pitching a no-hitter.  A single to the left, with two outs in the ninth, from the Yankees' Elston Howard spoiled what would have been a historic moment for the rookie.  Indeed, to their credit the Yankee fans booed when their own man broke up Rohr's no-no on a 3-2 pitch.  Remarkably, Rohr pitched with an injured knee after getting hit with a line drive in the sixth inning.  In the end he had to settle for a one hit shutout and a 3-0 win for the Sox.  This is just one of 101 totally fascinating entries in this fantastic e-book by John White on the Red Sox.  Buy it and relive so many wonderful moments in the history of the team.Michael Devine
