One Day at Fenway Steve Kettmann's book recounts the Sox' August 30 pennant race loss to the Yankees last year from the perspectives of "some 25 team executives, coaches, players, fans, an umpire, a groundskeeper and a scoreboard operator." Here's an exclusive Salon excerpt, here's another excerpt, and here's a transcript of an online chat with the author. ESPN.com's Rob Neyer was offended by the book and thought it's "a waste, both of talent and trees." He published a pseudonymous Amazon review, got busted, and got scolded. (Other reviews are more positive.)
