* Suggested reading for Mets players

May 28, 2008

This piece from Bloomberg.com suggests that Willie Randolph follow the example of Lakers’ coach Phil Jackson and give some of his players reading assignments in the hopes that it might open their minds to philosophies that will help the team win.

As for the connection to athletes and reading, I recall an anecdote about Yogi Berra and Bobby Brown when they were teammates on the Yankees. brown was reading a medical book, on his way to studying to be a doctor; Berra was reading a comic book. When both were finished for the day, Berra asked Brown, in effect, “How did yours turn out?”
