The official release date for the Mets by the Numbers book came Saturday. As clearly illustrated at left, it’s better and more important thanFreakonomics. No really, that’s a short stack of signed copies you can find, while they last, at the Customer Service desk at the Forest Hills Barnes & Noble, 70-00 Austin St. Thanks Pat! Regular, unscribbled-in copies should be in the sports section upstairs.
We’re at work planning a few events around the book release including a launch party and signing appearances in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan (so far) which we’ll inform you of as they’re scheduled. If you’d like to schedule an appearance in your hood, please let me know.
Co-writer Matt Silverman is currently spreading the gospel down in Port St. Lucie; I’m heading to Fort Lauderdale first thing Tuesday where I’ll see the Mets play the O’s Saturday, but mainly just taking a short break. We’ll be back Sunday with more dynamite celebrity interviews. In the meantime, I’m happy to pass along this link from my friend Greg of Faith & Fear in Flushing, who makes a pretty strong argument for why you should buy this book, and why you shouldn’t hire me.
was in that area of Forest

I was in that area of Forest Hills Sunday, I was at Garcia’s Mexican Restaurant, I meant to stop by the Barnes & Noble and look for the book, seems like I should have.
The owners of Garcia’s are big time Mets fans which is the reason why the inside is painted in orange and blue.

Thanks For The Shout Out

Thanks for the shout out in the book. That’s the second book that I’ve gotten a mention in this year (if you count the phone book). Is there still a Most Wanted list? Never did see a resolution of the Johnny Murphy uni question.
