Win me! Or buy me!
Interested in winning a copy of Keith Hernandez’ 2008 book “Shea Good-Bye” (pictured above)? The winner of the following Mets quiz will have a chance at owning a free copy of “Shea Good-Bye”, published by Triumph Books.
It’s simple really, just email your answers to adam@nleastchatter.com along with your username (yes, you must be registered with TRDMB to win!) and wait for the results to be posted later in the week! There is a set scoring system, but it’s a secret until the results are posted - it’s safe to assume that more difficult questions are worth more points. I only ask that you limit one submission per user, and the winner be a resident of the United States. In the event of a tie, the winner will be chosen randomly.
Without further ado…The Real Dirty Mets Quiz!
