In addition to being a performer and recording artist, I'm pleased to announce my debut as...an author! A Year in Mudville: An Oral History of Casey Stengel and the Original Mets is the first comprehensive work devoted to the 1962 New York Mets, the worst baseball team of the twentieth century. The Original Mets, while unquestionably bad, remain one of the most beloved teams of any era, and this book tells the Mets' unbelievable story through the words of participants and witnesses. The Original Mets finished 40-120, sixty and a half games out of first place. They lost games in ways never seen before or since, winning the hearts of fans all the while. How many other teams traded a player for himself, never won on a Thursday, had two pitchers with the same first and last name and assign them to be roommates, or hosted an Old-Timers game in their first season? The Original Mets did all of these. The names of Marvelous Marv Throneberry, Hot Rod Kanehl, Choo Choo Coleman and the immortal manager Casey Stengel are well known to baseball fans of all ages. A Year in Mudville will help the reader understand why. Currently available only as an e-book, A Year in Mudville can be purchased in numerous formats and can be read on the Kindle, the Sony Reader and the Stanza, as well as on any computer.
