This one is only Sox related in a very round-about way but it seems like an interesting book.
Odd Man Out tells the true story of a mediocre pitcher's year on the rookie league Provo Angels. With appearances by Erik Aybar, Prince Fielder, Howie Kendrick and Alberto Callaspo, it's supposed to be humorous and insightful. The writer, Matt McCarthy, is an old buddy of former beloved Craig Breslow (I told you it was a stretch)--they were classmates at Yale.
Besides which, Joe Posnanski likes it. I don't know that a baseball book could get a better endorsement than one from Posnanski:
"Matt McCarthy has written something here that will make you laugh a lot and, even more, bring you closer to the game. It's a terrific book, and a lot of fun."
