If you go to my main website, Mets Fan Book you will notice that I re-designed it yesterday. The reason, as you should be able to tell, is that my book is on the very verge of being released. Yesterday, I went to the website for my book at McFarland and it said for the first time, “available for immediate shipment.” Yesterday, for the very first time, the book was on Amazon available for pre-order. So, at this point, while the book would not be on Amazon or in bookstores yet (I myself have not seen a copy), it is, today, available from the publisher.
I will make the announcement that the book is published as soon as I hear something official from the publisher. In the meantime, if you click on the image below, it will take you to a site from which you can order the book “available for immediate shipment.”
DANA!!!!!!!!!! You have to explain to me why you have a pic of the UHAUL building on your website. This building is part of my family history and commented on EVERY time we go to a game. I just about died when I saw it. When Tom Seaver came back my sister and I had been to 15 opening day games in a row. We couldnt get tickiets to that game but we went anyway. it was so packed they estiamted 150,000 people tried to get intot hat game we had to park at the UHAUL building and walk to Shea. I paid 100 bucks for two tickets and my sister and I went to the game. Every time we are int eh upper deck now we look at the UHAUL building and start cracking up.
I have a picture of the U-Haul building on my site because it is something that people rarely mention but every Mets fan knows, every Mets fan has lived with for as long as they have been a Mets fan. So to me, it symbolizes some true, deep essence of Mets fandom. Anybody could pretend to be a Mets fan by looking up some facts and history. But you are a true Mets fan if you have spent hours of your life gazing at the U-Haul sign and the green tower behind it. I think it is very significant that Citifield is now growing to the point where it is beginning to be hard to see the U-Haul building. Once we can no longer see it, the death of Shea will have begun.
