Say It's So: Papa, Dad, Me, an

Since 1917, no fan of the Chicago White Sox had seen their team win a World Series. Three generations. A lifetime. In the Shapiro household, the White Sox were lifeblood, passed along with the family name: from Nate to David, from David to Ben. Then, in 2005, the White Sox finally made a run. In "Say It's So," David and Ben Shapiro document that glorious year from the perspective of a father and son rooting for the team -- and rooting for each other. "I read a lot of books on baseball, but it's a rare one that can take me back to the summer of 1967, when I sat on the front porch with my father listening to radio broadcasts of the Impossible Dream Boston Red Sox. David and Ben Shapiro are loyal to a different brand of Sox, but their collaboration reflects the same passion for baseball that unites generations. This book is written with insight, humor and -- most important -- a love of the game that should resonate with fathers and sons regardless of their team allegiance.'' -- Jerry Crasnick, ESPN.com and Baseball America "Ben and David Shapiro's 'Say It's So' beautifully captures the special relationship between fathers and sons that's so closely linked to our national pastime. Wonderful, moving, and uplifting." -- Dana Perino, co-host of Fox News' The Five and New York Times bestselling author of Let Me Tell You About Jaspar "Baseball brings people together like no other sport, and in Ben and David Shapiro's new book, they show just why -- why fathers and sons will forever be playing catch together, and forever rooting together for teams to which they pledge their faith, even if it takes a century to be fulfilled." -- Mark Levin, nationally syndicated talk show host and New York Times bestselling author of Rescuing Sprite
