John Feinstein and his book on two riveting New York pitchers
We can't say we've read this one yet, because we haven't, but we can say that this might be the least possible interesting topic for any baseball fan, including Mets and Yankees fans.
Pretty sure neither one has/was never really accepted by their respective fan bases, and neither one is interesting enough to appeal to anyone else, so the point of this book is a little unclear.
Our favorite part might be where it says "One Season to Remember."
Regardless, here's a look at some of Feinstein's other book ideas that didn't make the cut but had equal potential to capture the hearts of New York baseball fans.
