Subject: Now in paperback—a cross between A Day in the Life and Moneyball—comes the inside; intertwining stories of famous; and not-so-famous people as their lives are affected by one day of baseball: August 30; 2003; Red Sox-Yankees at Fenway; during their most famous season ever.; 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.
