Literally, A Web Log

Mets Walkoffs And Other Minutiae

This Date in Mets History is 222 pages long and I have read every word on every page, probably 222 times. It was there that I learned such valuable lessons like that I share a birthday with Bob Apodaca (January 31), that Bill Sudakis was known to his Metsmates as “Suds,” that one series sweep by the Phillies in 1980 was known as “The Lost Weekend” and that trading Tom Seaver to the Reds was, at least when the book was published, one of the best and worst trades in Mets history. I literally devoured this book. The closest descriptive word I have for it is “gross.” It is dog-eared, torn up, and missing the cover page, but that is part of its charm.

Yeah, I know, spotting illiterate literallys on blogs is, er, figuratively shooting fish in a barrel, but this one is too good to resist.

I guess the book was literally good enough to eat.
