Buy My Friend's Book!
Posted by
Randy Medina
Every year, hundreds of books are written about the New York Mets. Send The Beer Guy by my friend Shannon Shark is one of them! The head honcho over at Metspolice.com has finally made good on his threat of turning the stories he tells us at various bars into an actual book. For only four bucks on Amazon, you too can learn the secrets of the mystery Cardinals baseball and the shocking true origin story of the alias "Shannon Shark".
All joking aside, Send The Beer Guy, or STBG as the cool kids are calling it, provides a refreshingly personal glimpse into the life of a Mets fan. There are aspects of the book that any Mets fan will be able to relate to, even if they didn't grow up idolizing "The Franchise".
So if you're tired of all the countless identical "History of The Mets" books out there, I urge you spend four bucks and download Send The Beer Guy today at Amazon.com.
Even if you hate it, at least it's short.
Disclaimer: Randy Medina is not a literary critic. In fact, he's barely literate. This review is being written under the unspoken agreement of free beer the next time he see's Shannon Shark. If you're stupid enough to take the advice of a guy who Photoshops Sandy Alderson on the toilet, that's your own problem...
...But seriously, buy the book. It's not bad.
No Mets were harmed in the writing of this story. Follow me on Twitter @readtheapple.
