Kettmann, Steve

Steve Kettmann is the author most recently of Baseball Maverick: How Sandy Alderson Revolutionized Baseball and Revived the Mets, to be published in April 2015. He lives in Soquel, California, where he is the co-founder, along with Sarah Ringler, of the Wellstone Center in the Redwoods, and leads weekend workshops for would-be writers. His other books include One Day at Fenway (Atria, 2004), all about one game between the Red Sox and Yankees, and the New York Times best-sellers What a Party! (with Terry McAuliffe), Juiced (with Jose Canseco), Shift (with Peter Arnell) and The Man Who Warned America, by Murray Weiss (as book doctor). Kettmann has reported from more than forty countries for publications including ForeignPolicy.com, the San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Times, the New Republic, Washington Monthly, Salon.com, Wired.com and Motherjones.com, and was a finalist for the 2001 Online Journalism Award in commentary.
Kettmann was also the co-author, with Senator Robert Byrd, of Letter to a New President, and conceived and edited "Game Time," working with the New Yorker writer Roger Angell on a collection of his baseball writing. A former staff reporter for New York Newsday and the San Francisco Chronicle, he moved to Berlin in 1999 as an Arthur F. Burns Fellow, serving from 1999 to 2003 as Berlin Correspondent for Wired News. He speaks German, gets by in Spanish, muddles along in French and used to have decent conversational Russian, but Bozhe moi, it's faded over the years.
