We love kid’s books. We love the Red Sox. But that doesn’t mean that these two great tastes will taste great together. Submitted for your approval, a list of titles of proposed Sox-themed children’s books that didn’t quite make it to a bookshelf near you.
“Julio Lugo: Five Tool Playa”
“Youk’s Jockstrap Attacks!”
“Hop on Pop! And Don’t Be Afraid To Wear Your Steel-Toes, Because You Know That Old Bastard’s a Yankees Fan”
“Terry Francona and the Magical Yet Terribly Invasive Medical Procedure”
“Dustin Pedroia: Whiskey Drinkin’ Paperboy”
“DeMarlo Hale Rides a Bike, Short-Changes a Hooker”
“Cloudy With a Chance of Bambi Going Down in a Hail of Buckshot: A Kid’s Hunting Primer by Mike Timlin”
“Tim Wakefield, Sean Casey, Bill Mueller and the Legion of Super Nice Guys vs. Hitler, Satan and Eddie Van Halen”
“Can’t Tie My Testes Down: The Adrian Beltre Songbook”
“Carl Everett’s Book About Dinosaurs and Other Things White People Made Up”

Did we miss any? Put ’em in the comments.
EDIT: Not that we don’t mourn for JD Salinger, but I pushed this post back to the front to keep the witty mood alive.
