"An intimate portrait of one of the shrewdest, most decorated men to ever occupy the GM chair... A really fun read" (Jonah Keri, #1
New York Times-bestselling author of
Up, Up, & Away).
In 2010, the New York Mets were in trouble. One of baseball's most valuable franchises, they had recently suffered an embarrassing September collapse and two bitter losing seasons. To whom did they turn? Sandy Alderson, a former marine who got his baseball start in Oakland, where he led a revolution in the sport. The A's partnered with Apple in 1980, pioneering the use of statistical analysis in baseball, and became a powerhouse-winning the 1989 World Series.
Granted unprecedented access to the working general manager over several seasons, bestselling author Steve Kettmann traces Alderson's history and his revival of the Mets, despite a limited budget, through big trades that brought back high-profile prospects to the development of young aces including Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, and Jacob deGrom.
Baseball Maverick is a gripping, behind-the-scenes look at a Major League team and a fascinating exploration of what it means to be smart.
