Steve Kettmann

Steve Kettmann is an American writer living in Berlin.

His most recent books are "What a Party!" co-written with former DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe, which debuted in February 2007 at No. 6 on New York Times best-seller list, and "Letter to a New President," co-written with Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, which will be published in June 2008.

Kettmann was a sportswriter for the San Francisco Chronicle from 1990 to 1999, covering the Oakland A's for four seasons as a beat writer, and has also written on steroids and baseball for the New York Times, the New Republic, Salon.com and Wired.com. The New Yorker magazine reported in 2005 that he was the ghost-writer of José Canseco's book "Juiced," which was a No. 1 New York Times best-seller, despite first being the subject of intense controversy.

Kettmann's first book was "One Day at Fenway," which described a single game between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees on August 30, 2003, from a variety of perspectives.

Previously, Kettmann edited "Game Time," a collection of Roger Angell's baseball writing from the New Yorker spanning forty years.

Kettmann is also an occasional contributor to the Huffington Post. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-kettmann http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-kettmann/how-do-we-honor-yance-gra_b_125270.html"
