I'm Keith Hernandez

While looking for Greg's Piazza book, I saw that Keith has a memoir due for publication in Oct 3, '17. This already news to everyone? It did not blip my radar.

Interesting that there's no co-author listed. He had two previous books were co-written with Mike Bryan, and one that was co-written with Matt Silverman that I figured was just Matt with Keith lending his name.

Matt told me his book was a series of phone conversations with KH, and painstaking transcriptions.

It of course wasn't supposed to chronicle what became the worst Eve Of Destruction in Mets history, not that much of it was foreseeable by a broadcaster.

I'll read IKH, like crazy.

I remember "If at First". I missed the other one.

Maybe that's why I'M is in bold red. No more of this coddling, co-author crap. Maybe it's unvarnished Keith, which would be awesome.

So, it's a memoir of the Seinfeld years?

This is the other Hernandez/Bryan collaboration.

If at First is, as I've mentioned before, one of the most Dad books ever. Pull a used copy at a book store. They all smell like somebody's Dad. What Dad drank, what he smoked, what aftershave he wore.

I think I read that one then. Tale of 2 baseball games, one AL, one NL, one grass, one turf, something like that.

Spot on. I think I've purchased about 5 used copies of this one...and I don't know where any of them are. It's a book I buy nearly every time I see it at a thrift store or used book shop.
