Matt McCarthy, a graduate of Yale and of Harvard Medical School now working as an intern in the residency program at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital in New York, has gained national attention in recent weeks for ?Odd Man Out,? which is about his experience in the Angels' minor league system. Statistics from that season, transaction listings and interviews with his former teammates indicate that many portions of the book are incorrect, embellished or impossible. When presented with evidence of his book?s wide-ranging errors and misquotations in an interview Monday morning, McCarthy said that he stood by the contents of ?Odd Man Out.? He said the book, which was published last month by Viking Press and was ranked No. 29 on the most recent New York Times nonfiction bestseller list, was drawn from detailed journals he kept during his year in the Angels? minor league system. He declined to show how those journals corroborated his stories. ?Some of this is true, and some of it is made up,? said Alex Dvorsky, McCarthy?s catcher that summer. Added pitcher Adrian Goas, ?I thought to myself that I must have been on a different team than he was.?
