Baseball.

Hockey.

Football.

Basketball.

Tennis.

Rowing.

Running.

Squash?

Yes that too!

From reading his book, I learned such fun facts as the Wilmington based (my hometown) Fenway Painters were chosen to apply the famous great coat to Fenway’s left field wall. It turns out Red Sox executives chose them because they thought the company’s name was fitting for the job.

I also uncovered that the NFL’s Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts started their roots in Beantown.  Yes unbelievable, but true Patriots fans!

This book is choc full of historical tid-bits that will allow you to stump your co-workers around the water cooler/coffee machine or your buddies at your favorite sports bar.

Oh yeah if you want to find out the best sports bar for your favorite team, Christopher covers that too.

Want to know where to sit at the Garden, Gillette Stadium, Fenway, or Boston Arena?

Want to be a cheapskate or splurge at your favorite sporting event?  He shares his secrets with you.

Should you take your child to a Patriots or Revs game?

Christopher Klein provides insight on kid friendly sporting events as well.

He leaves no stone unturned.

“The Die Hard Sports Fan’s Guide to Boston” is so thorough and descriptive, you can taste the over priced hot dogs and watered down beer.

Whether you are a history buff, die hard, or fair weather Johnson of the Boston sports scene, this book is a must have!

Take it from one die hard fan to another.

      Dwight "Dewey" Evans

      We honor Dwight Evans as the Boston Sports Then and Now Athlete of the Month. With the opening of the baseball season around the corner, the choice of “Dewey” Evans is fitting. He was a player who gave his all, all the time to the Boston Red Sox where he played from 1972 to 1990. He is one of the best players not in the Baseball Hall Of Fame.

      Dwight Michael Evans made an immediate impact in his professional baseball career by winning the International League’s MVP in 1972. With AAA Louisville, Evans had 17 hrs, 95 RBI and hit .300.

      Dewey was called up to the tail end of the ’72 season. On September 16th, he pinch ran and was 0-1 at the plate. He played 18 games and decent numbers during his call up. In 57 plate appearances, Evans had 1 hr, 6 RBI and batted .263.

      Dwight Evans called right field in Fenway Park his home. He was a defensive standout and offensively could hold his own.
