Shark isn’t a sports journalist or professional writer or a major league baseball player. He’s blogger/tweeter, but really he’s a fan. Like me. A normal guy who tweets and blogs about the Mets. He even has a life and isn’t that obsessed with the Mets.
Maybe it’s the normality of it all or the easy style he has, but, whatever, I really enjoyed reading his book. It wasn’t hard-going and it’s not a work of literary art. Who’d want that in a book about being a Met fan (and a son, a husband and a father.)?
It took me a few hours to read the book, but it was more than worth it. Maybe you have to be a Met fan to enjoy the book. Maybe you have to be a man. Maybe you have to be a male Met fan over 40, but I fit all those and I thought the book was great. It’s funny, poignant and informative (about little things about the Mets). I couldn’t put it down.
As I said on Twitter my biggest disappointment is that I really wanted to sit down and talk to Shark about his book for about 4 hours. It’s something he may remedy in an online format.

Thanks Eagle!
Send The Beer Guy is $3.99 at Amazon. If you don’t have a Kindle there is a free Kindle app for iPhone, iPad (what I use), Windows and Mac. I have come to really enjoy ebooks and not having to lug around 1000 page Tom Clancy novels. Plus I can carry 10 books around with me and read whatever I’m in the mood for on the bus.
