Kerel Cooper, who hosts OntheBlack, (“NY Mets Video Blog Providing News, Opinions and Analysis”), has a thought that applies to the entire organization:
Reading is FUNdamental.
In this video, he suggests the Mets’ would do well to devote part of their off-season (their long off-season) to boning up on the game via these titles:
- Getting Organized by Chris Crouch
- Baseball For Dummies by Joe Morgan
- Have Gun Will Travel by Ronin Ro (a book about the rap music label Death Row that, according to Cooper “tells a very fascinating story about a bunch of aggressive individuals who knew the goal that they wanted to hit in their careers and they got to that go, really by any means necessary.”)
- The Complete Game by Ron Darling
- The Bad Guys Won by Jeff Pearlman
You might think this is meant as a goof, but Cooper isn’t joking and he makes a lot of sense as he describes how these books might help the Mets get back to former greatness next year and beyond.
