* Well, they do have the time for it now

October 10, 2009

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.
