Pearlman's 200th Quaz with Michael Dukakis

Nice job, Jeff, if you're here.

Michael Dukakis | Jeff Pearlman

 

From the extras part of the piece:

• I wrote a book about the 1986 Mets. Want a copy?: Oh, God. Jesus. I was debating my opponent for governor the night of Game 6. And I kept announcing what was happening. People would hand me a piece of paper with the score. I was at a televised debate. There were about 40,000 watching our debate on television, and about 2.6 million watching the game. And then we get home and flip it on and go through that horrible inning. Why McNamara didn’t take Buckner out? Dave Stapleton was the best defensive first baseman in baseball. I think it was one of those things where sentiment outweighs reality. Jesus. Poor Buckner. Could hardly walk, for God’s sake.

 

Thanks for the link, Songbird.

 

I enjoy reading Pearlman. He comes across as having a good heart.

 

Thanks for sharing. Very nicely done.
