A comienzos de 2004, dos escritores y fanaticos de los Medias Rojas, Stewart O'Nan y Stephen King, decidieron hacer una cronica personal de la nueva temporada, una de las mas fervientemente esperadas en la historia del beisbol. Durante los meses que siguieron compartieron asientos en el Fenway, intercambiaron emails y escribieron acerca de los juegos; terminaron siendo testigos de uno de los mas notables retornos deportivos, el primer campeonato ganado por los Medias Rojas en ochenta y siete anos. Lo que comenzo para dos fanaticos como un verano mas, lleno de expectativas, es ahora un verdadero testimonio historico.

"En ultima instancia, !Campeones mundiales al fin! es un libro quasi-religioso que habla acerca de lo que deberia ser la base de toda religion: el amor -- el amor en toda su ceguera, terror, euforia, pureza y, porque no, capacidad adictiva."
-- Dennis Lehane, Entertainment Weekly
"King y O'Nan son la clase de fanaticos que uno quiere tener al lado en un juego de beisbol: saben de lo que hablan, opinan con fundamento, son divertidos e irreverentes."
-- Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today
²!Campeones mundiales al fin! no es solo un libro sobre los Medias Rojas; es tambien un libro acerca de la familia, de la amistad, y de lo que realmente significa ser un fanatico del beisbol -- de lo que significa ser fieles, realmente fieles, en las buenas y en las malas....La temporada estuvo repleta de momentos inolvidables, y King y O'Nan los atrapan casi todos, de manera magistral."
-- Frank Mosher, The Boston Globe
Stewart O’Nan’s award-winning fiction includes Snow Angels, A Prayer for the Dying, Last Night at the Lobster, and Emily, Alone. His most recent novel, The Odds, was hailed by The Boston Globe as “a gorgeous fable, a stunning meditation and a hope-filled Valentine.” Granta named him one of America’s Best Young Novelists. He was born and raised and lives in Pittsburgh.
Stephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers. His recent work includes The Institute, Elevation, The Outsider, Sleeping Beauties (cowritten with his son Owen King), and the Bill Hodges trilogy, End of Watch, Finders Keepers, and Mr. Mercedes (an Edgar Award winner for Best Novel and an AT&T Audience Network original television series). His novel 11/22/63 was named a top ten book of 2011 by The New York Times Book Review and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Mystery/Thriller. His epic works The Dark Tower and It are the basis for major motion pictures, with It now the highest grossing horror film of all time. He is the recipient of the 2018 PEN America Literary Service Award, the 2014 National Medal of Arts, and the 2003 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lives in Bangor, Maine, with his wife, novelist Tabitha King.
