First up, an apology to Maple Street Press. Â In March they were kind enough to send me the Maple Street Mets Annual which was and is a really excellent resource for Mets fans – and the excuses don’t matter, I blew it and never did a proper review. Â I don’t have a time machine and can’t do anything to fix it.
I’m not going to make that mistake again. Â I got home last night and had mail. Â Since I hadn’t ordered any jerseys or caps this week (I have a problem) I was surprised to have a package waiting. Â I opened it and…
Wow this is cool. Â I haven’t had time at all to read it but I thumbed open to a random page and saw #13 The Seaver Deal followed by #14 Keith Hernandez. Â Later in the book I found…wait for it…..you guessed it, Lee Mazzilli.
Right there, this won me over. Â I hope to spend more time on this over the weekend, but at first glance I encourage you to go grab the revised and updated version of 100 Things Mets Fans Should Kmow & Do Before They Die by Matthew Silverman. Â (Triumph Books).
(I think the feds put in some rule where I’m supposed to let you know I got a free copy of the book. Â I got a free copy of the book.)
