Negative Positive
Title: Pond Scum
Review: I came at this book from a different direction, being a diehard Cardinals fan. I was a big Mookie Wilson fan, and Hernandez had been one of my two favorite players, but those two aside, I loathed every member of the '86 Mets squad. Pearlman's account of the season is thorough, and I enjoyed going inside the enemy clubhouse. I love colorful characters (Joaquin Andujar is my favorite player of all time), but you can be exciting to watch and still, as Ozzie Smith said, "have class." Great book about a classless team of @ssholes whose dynasty quickly dissolved. Team of the '80s? That would be the Cardinals.
Is the review positive or negative?
