The Mets Police: Verducci's...I Mean Torre's Book "The Yankee Years"

Verducci's...I Mean Torre's Book "The Yankee Years"

I got through a big chunk of The Yankee Years over the weekend and it's not at all what the Post would have us believe.

It's really a Tom Verducci book. There is a great sidebar chapter about steroids and another about the Red Sox coming of age.

The book quotes Torre at length, but it might as well say "Tom Verducci with David Cone, Mike Mussina and Joe Torre." Cone gives the players perspective for the first half, and then Mussina for the post-Dynasty years.

This book is right there with Summer of '49 for great baseball books. You don't have to be a Yankee fan to relive all those post-seasons especially 2001.

Grab it.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
