Fellow Metsies!



I wanted to let you know about "How the Worst Was Won" https://shorturl.at/gLpdghttps://shorturl.at/gLpdg -- a five-star rated new book which tells the impossible underdog story of how baseball's greatest character – Casey Stengel – took helm of history's worst baseball team – the 1962 New York Mets and resurrected millions of heartbroken fans to save New York City baseball forever. This is, by far, the deepest anyone has gone into mind-blowing saga which is mostly relayed in real-time as if live.



Also positioned to become a TV series, you can visit http://www.markgalley.com/amazinwww.markgalley.com/amazin to learn more, view the treatment video, and hear my interview with the #1 book interview show on the web, "Lights, Camera, Author!"



Check it out – and let's go, Mets!!

How close is this to being a series? Visiting that link, it looks like there's a screenplay, but no production deal. If so, that's a very significant next step that needs to be taken.

I'm no expert, but not sure I've ever heard things put quite this way...


[bLOCKQUOTE]Five years later, scheming for the riches of only one team per city, baseball owners collude to cripple the Mets franchise by fixing the draft and ensuring the Mets get only horrendous players at outrageous prices. In just their first season, the Mets appear doomed.[/bLOCKQUOTE]

And then casting. Who would play Casey?

Kristi "Clayface" Noem, naturally. She could be anybody with the proper makeup. And filler. And Botox. In my favorite scene, Noem holds court over the press, speaking in Stengelese while strategically standing over a locker room floor vent that's blowing air conditioning up at her, causing the bottom of her Marilyn Monroe-style white sundress to billow out just like in the Seven Year Itch. After that, Noem disappears Elio' Chacon to an El Salvadoran gulag when she finds out that Chacon speaks Spanish and has no "pasaje".

My shortlist for Casey portrayers includes:



Armin Shimmerman

Sean Penn

Willem Defoe

Billy Crystal, who already kind of played him in The Princess Bride

Dustin Hoffman.

If he was alive, Burgess Meredith would nailed it.
