    Isn't this like Straw's fifth book or something? Dude was my favorite player when I was a kid, but I think I've read or seen about five different tell-all confessionals from him, including one about how it was all good, because he had Jesus in his life now. I believe that one came out right when he joined the Dodgers.

    Because they needed a few more stacks in the 3.98 bin at Books a Million.

    Thinks the '86 Mets are a bunch of fucking amateurs.

    Yeah, like they went after Jose Canseco when his books came out.

    Call me when the feds try to indict A-Rod.

    Outing alert. Zagoshe is Jim Rome.

    They announced today they likely won't go after A-Rod -- but mostly because they realize it would be political suicide in this current economic crisis to conduct another one of their silly grandstanding exhibitions......

    I only saw it in a few books.

    Didn't Pearlman's Mets book already cover all of this? There was a scene in there where they were vandalizing the plane, and the wives were joining in.

    And that was originally detailed in the Klapisch/Harper book.

    At this point, the only '86 Mets book I'd want to read is one in which it's revealed they WEREN'T drug and booze hounds. Alas, the clean-and-sober Gary Carter and Ed Hearn have already written books, so that's that.

    A better and fresher book than Pearlman's.

    Truly meets the test once set forth that requires one to have read a book before writing one ...

    I enjoyed the book on Strawberry and his teammates on the Crenshaw High baseball team. Do we need another retelling of the 1980s Mets?
