Kettman, Steve

One Day at Fenway, a Day in the Life of Baseball in America

New York, Atria Books, 2004. First Edition. Hardcover. Octavo; pp; xiv, 306; blue cloth and red paper covered boards, lettered in silver in a pictorial dust jacket; Very good in very good dust-jacket. Fenway Park, Saturday, 8/30/03: Yankees versus Red Sox. Not just a special day in a historic rivalry but a unique one in the long tradition of baseball writing. For on this day award-winning sportswriter Steve Kettmann worked with a team of top reporters to chronicle everything that happened, from the point of view of everyone involved. With One Day at Fenway, Kettmann goes beyond the ballpark to bring you interviews and anecdotes involving all the major players—from Red Sox owner John Henry and CEO Larry Lucchino, privately second-guessing Grady Little's managing moves during the game; to Yankee skipper Joe Torre, worrying on the bench about Mariano Rivera, who can't find home plate; to Sox slugger Manny Ramirez, who missed the game with a throat infection. And there's more: the famous and infamous players in the field and in the boardrooms, rabid fans on both sides, the not-so-innocent bystanders—all here in this brilliant re-creation of a day in the life of America's favorite pastime. Very good/very good.

The Year the Red Sox Won the Series, a Chronicle of the 1918 Championship Season

Boston, Northeastern University Press, 1999. Second Printing. Hardcover. Quarto; pp; xiv, (ii), 293, index; profusely illustrated with black and white photographs, cartoons; tan cloth lettered in gilt in a pictorial dust jacket. When Babe Ruth pitched and slugged the Boston Red Sox to a six-game World Series victory over the Chicago Cubs in 1918, there was every expectation that the team would continue to dominate the national pastime. It would be another eighty years before fans were delivered from the Curse of the Bambino. Now they -- and baseball fans everywhere -- can relive that glory season as told by the sportswriters and cartoonists of the day. This lavishly illustrated work offers illuminating detail on the games, the players, and the times, and it contains a treasure trove of baseball lore. Readers will find out why and when the Star Spangled Banner (before it was the national anthem) was played before games and they will learn why the threatened player strike over the World Series' low purse left hard feelings that reverberate today. Near fine/near fine.
