Is Michael Lewis really a tree in a forest with no one around?
This is the second time that he’s been accused by people of not having talked to them!
Five years ago, I sent him a link to a Grady Fuson interview on BPro. He replied:
In his chat with you Grady Fuson says that he’s never met me. What’s odd about this is that I have met him. I interviewed Fuson, at great length, in the summer of 2002, in a Rangers dugout.
Now, Art Howe said that Lewis never interviewed him either, and Lewis responded to Neyer:
I interviewed him, at length!
...
It’s no big deal, and I’m sure Howe told him that. The funny thing is Kettman didn’t think to call me to ask if it was true. In other words, he did what Art Howe—and he—is accusing me of. Accusations of journalistic bias are the last refuge of the scoundrel. When I interviewed Howe I was genuinely trying to figure out what the hell was going on, and what role he actually played. He helped to convince me, with his total absence of anything interesting to say, that he was, from the point of view of the A’s front office, a trivial part of their success.
