Can't Anybody Here Play This Game?

The Improbable Saga of the New York Met's First Year

Jimmy Breslin

Get ready to relive the worst season in baseball history with this classic account. Chronicling the New York Mets' outrageous first year, this book captures their "ineptitude, mediocrity, and abject failure" while managing to make them lovable losers. Written by sports journalist Jimmy Breslin over forty years ago, his commentary on the growing commercialism of sports still rings true today. Read on to celebrate "Marvelous" Marv Throneberry and the Mets' heroic efforts to win. A must-read for any sports fan.
