If These Walls Could Talk: New York Mets: Stories From the New York Mets Dugout, Locker Room, and Press Box

Mike Puma has written his first book (I believe) on my favorite subject: The New York Mets. This beat writer has put together a good look inside the organization that makes for a good fan reading. Hopefully in the near future he will have a lot more winning material from which to produce his next book on my team!

If you are a Mets fan this is a good read with some good insights.Hey Mike Puma why don’t beat writers tell give us the scoop on a daily basis?Mets fan read this you will enjoy it.

I’m a Yankee fan but found this a great read on the beach. Insights and back stories about Mets over the past twenty years actually made me feel (slightly) bad about rooting against them this many years, and who woulda thunk I would end up liking Billy Wagner. Great easy summer read for the baseball aficionado.

Was a great read, especially for any longtime Mets fan. One negative for me was a lack of depth in what could have been some great stories. Example - I wanted to read a lot more about deGrom. But for a wide ranging anthology, it was very entertaining.

It was a great read. It brought back all the old memories. From the no hitter to the World Series loss the the royals. Made me hate the Wilpons even more which I didn’t think could be possible.Overall a beautifully written book with lots of great interviews.

Mike Puma wrote a concise historical, sometimes funny book on the Mets . Usually I take my time reading books. I could not put this down. I highly recommend this book to any MLB fan.

Enjoyed getting the insight although sometimes made me aggravated based on decisions made by the Mets.

The title alone is deceptive - "If These Walls Could Talk" - because there are only a handful of "secrets" revealed in this book and all of those were discussed when the book was first released. There is no passion in the telling of this book, which is not a surprise since it was written by a beat writer for the NY Post. It is simply a chronological recitation of events. As I lifelong fan, I remember these moments. I don't need to hear about who struck out when. Some of the interviews are interesting especially from those we don't hear from often.Overall, it is a flat, emotionless book. A true fan will find more enjoyment from Devin Gordon's recent book.
