We are bringing back the authors panel back to the QBC. We haven't had one of these in years and felt it was time to bring it back. We have Brian Wright, Mark Healey, Erik Sherman, Michael Stahl, and Wayne Coffey all coming in to talk about the Mets and what is inside their books!
Brian Wright is the author The New York Mets All-Time All-Stars, which will be released in early March from Lyons Press and features a full roster of players, a manager, coaches, and a front office. He also wrote Mets in 10s: Best and Worst of an Amazin’ History, examining the team's highs and lows through a series of top-10 lists, and was managing editor for Met-rospectives, a publication from the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) which chronicles the greatest games in franchise history. You can follow Brian on Twitter (@BrianWright86) and Instagram (@bawright86).
Wayne Coffey, a former sportswriter for the New York Daily News, is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, and most recently, of the critically acclaimed They Said It Couldn't Be Done: The '69 Mets, New York City, And The Most Astounding Season in Baseball History (Crown Archetype), a book Gary Cohen called "a masterpiece." He lives in the Hudson Valley and someday hopes to forgive Jimmy Qualls.
Michael Stahl is a freelance writer raised and living in Astoria. He covers a wide range of topics, from the arts and culture to health to politics to business and beyond.
