The Clubhouse: A Year with the Red Sox Review 2025 Tv Show Series Cast Crew Online
I’m a former minor league player from the Red Sox organization. I’ve been a diehard Boston Red Sox fan since I played Little League, and will express this much: I’m slightly disappointed in the series.
I think there’s so much missing than what I was looking & hoping for. And perhaps you too?
The series basically spotlights the same 3 or 4 players most of the time and 3 other people from the organization (that I won’t mention) along with lots of media personalities and writers throughout the entire series. It was nice tho to see some of the fans perspective, along with the lifelong Diehard Sox Fans randomly included. And also a moment with 3 of the players on the Worcester Sox.
But after a while, the series is too repetitive. It’s unfortunate more of the players on the team weren’t involved and spotlighted – especially a future Hall of Famer. Not sure if that was the particular players or the Red Sox higher-ups decisions or not…or the producers, editors and directors.
I do know this much…according to the Red Sox, no one knew what the finished product & project looked like and what was going to appear in the series until it aired.
The series production team spent 8 months with the Red Sox organization – interviewing & filming 1000’s of hours of actual footage, then edited it down to nearly 8 hours for 8 episodes. And If this is the best they can come up with, I’m disappointed.
I did enjoy all the footage of Fenway, glimpses of the city of Boston…and the live action at games…and some of the “behind the scenes.”
But for me, they missed lots of the human emotion that goes on within a team from February to September/October, and so much more of the players perspectives. And I can’t believe more players on the team weren’t a bigger part of the docuseries.
Don’t get me wrong…I’ve been excited to watch the series and been waiting a year for this, when it was first announced. I watched all 8 episodes in 3 days when it first aired
I just think & feel the entire series could’ve been much better for the reasons I expressed above. Especially parts of the final 8th episode and the ending.
