Both have been on my Amazon wishlist for a while now. Haven't read any baseball books since "On the Black" and Ronnie's "The Complete Game". Thoroughly enjoyed both and would love to buff up on my Mets history. Sign me up please! Both have been on my Amazon wishlist for a while now.

That World Series was the best "welcome home" gift anyone could give a 10-year old. Score one for the bad guys! I'd love to read about it all over again.

I can't afford to buy books so I'm looking for free where I can get it. I collect baseball books to read because I love learning more about the great game of baseball.

Been a fan as long as I can remember - go to several games a year. I was lucky enough to go to some playoff games in 99, 00, and 06 including the grandslam single game - high point of my fandom. Also been to at least 1 Mets-Yankee game every year since interleague started. I love reading the Mets blogs, and would love a chance to win these books.

So it has been written. Also, if I ever see Steve Phillips, I vow to spit in his face with Robbie Alomar's saliva - ew. Kevin Appier for Mo Vaughn! If only Mo Vaughn were an elected office, and Kevin Appier were running for it would the words "Kevin Appier for Mo Vaughn" make any kind of sense to me, unless I was getting Kevin Appier in the deal. The Angels should have thrown in Jim Fregosi for old times' sake. Where have you gone Endy Chavez, Shea Stadium turns it's commemorative stone in Citi Field parking lot to you. Woo hoo hoo.

Got older... stopped making signs Loved '69 and '86 (who didn't?) A bit less in '73 and 2000. Even less in '88 and '06 The rest... the best words... from fun to frustration. Moved To Florida in '02. Look forward to my spring training games in St. Lucie and my occasional trips north to visit Shea (RIP) and CitiField (where we have a "brick"). Spend $$$ of the Comcast baseball package so I can watch the games (occasionally have to suffer through the ultra homer voices of the Marlins, Phillies and Braves announcers). Would love a refund this year. Now free books! (maybe) Ah, to sit back and relax without anticipating a blown save... Thanks!
