Prolific Mets author Matt Silverman has inaugurated his Mets book review series with a very nice review of my Mets Fan. Although Mets Fan was published in August 2007, it is still relevant and worth reading, I think, because it deals with the whole history and philosophy of Mets fandom.
Matt wonders if there is going to be an audio version and he is kind enough to praise a reading I gave of my piece “For Shea” at the 2008 meeting of the New York city chapter of SABR. I’m not sure I could read that essay now without breaking down. If you’ve never seen me read, you might enjoy this video of my reading at the Chappaqua library. I expect to do some readings from my new book this summer and fall. When I was giving readings from Mets Fan, I met quite a few of you, and that was a real pleasure.
