Here's what people are saying about the film. |

|
||
| "What makes "Rooters" so special and unique is that it tells the story of the Red Sox solely from the perspective of their fans, who have come to be known as Red Sox Nation..."Rooters" explodes with rare footage and crisp dialogue in keeping with its mission to tell us about Nuf Ced McGreevy, Lib Dooley and other Red Sox fans from yesterday and today...Narration by WEEI's Mike Adams is outstanding."
- Steve Buckley, Boston Herald |
||
| "Rooters... A true testament to Red Sox Nation!"
- Farrelly Brothers producer/Kris Meyer |
||
| "At a time when a formal election is being run to determine president of
Red Sox Nation, it's nice to see Nuf-Ced McGreevey get the rightful credit
he deserves as founding father of the Nation. Anyone who watches this film
will realize that the most fervent Red Sox fan of all-time may have been the first one."
-Don Orsillo, Red Sox/NESN Play-by-Play Announcer |
||
| "The phenomenon that Red Sox fans have enjoyed in these early years of the 21st century is rooted in the early years of the 20th century. This film beautifully depicts the various branches that have energized through the generations and through the decades."
-Dr. Charles Steinberg, Executive VP/Public Affairs/ Boston Red Sox |
||
| "The film 'Rooters" is ridiculous. I loved every minute of it. It does a great job
showing, essentially, the birth of the neurotic Boston Sports Fan-- in a good way"
-Michael Holley "The Dale and Holley Show", WEEI |
||
| "No sport enjoys a history as rich as baseball and few teams history is as fascinating as the Boston Red Sox. If you are a card carrying member of Red Sox Nation, you need to own this film."
-Scott Van Pelt, ESPN |
||
| "Before there was Red Sox Nation, there was Nuf Ced and the Royal Rooters. If you're a Red Sox fan, you have to see this film."
-REDSOXNATION.NET |
||
| "I've been around for a long time and sometimes I feel like I've met every Red Sox fan. But I never met Nuf Ced. I wish I had!"
-Johnny Pesky, Mr. Red Sox |
||
| "Red Sox Nation existed long before the term was popularized and this film captures that essence perfectly. Nuf Ced!"
-David Laurila, Author, "Interviews From Red Sox Nation" |
||
| "We were impressed with the depth of research and the wonderful storytelling in "Rooters". Red Sox fans have always come to NESN to learn more about their favorite team- now we can turn the mirror on the fans themselves to show how they have helped make the Red Sox what they are today."
-Joel Feld, VP of Programming/NESN |
||
| "Monday night's NESN desbut of "Rooters: The Birth of Red Sox Nation" is more than just worth DVRing, its worth getting a copy of the 2-DVD set. Shots has been absorbed in our advance copy and already we have kudos for narrator WEEI 850 AM's Mikey Adams and the writing of Peter J. Nash paired with the direction of Ian McFarland and Anthony Moreschi. Put it this way, Dr. Charles will be proud of this thing. -David Scott, Boston Sports Media Watch |
