Making it official, following up my announcement during my interview recent on WKNY with Dan Reinhard, to tell you that my next book will be out in March 2025. And I will not be alone! The book will be the third for Art Shamsky and my first with a former player since Shea Goodbye with Keith Hernandez in 2008.
Mets Stories I Only Tell My Friends was a lot of fun to work on. Besides being a key member of the 1969 Mets, Art also was a longtime broadcaster in the New York area, and was one of the first afternoon hosts on WFAN in the mid-1980s. He also owned restaurants with Mets Ron Darling and Phil Linz (best known for having his harmonica slapped out of his hands by manager Yogi Berra on the 1964 Yankees). Art is the glue that has kept the 1969 Miracle Mets in touch for all these years. It was an honor, a pleasure, and a lot of fun to work with him. Promoting this book should be pretty fun as well!
You can preorder it here from Triumph Books for the Mets fan in your life (or yourself for your shelf).
