This week on Sports With Friends:

In 2000, New York City was at the center of the baseball world as the New York Mets faced off against the New York Yankees in the 2000 World Series. Author Chris Donnelly has penned a new book that chronicles both the Mets and Yankees in the late 90s, leading up to that Fall Classic. “Get Your Tokens Ready: The Late 1990s Road to the Subway Series” chronicles both teams from 1997, the dawn of interleague play, to the end of the 2000 Subway Series.

The Yankees were amid a dynasty, while the Mets were up and coming. This era chronicled the Roger Clemens/Mike Piazza bat incident and the Bobby Valentine fake mustache.

In this episode, Donnelly explains this pivotal time for both the teams and their passionate fan bases. He explains how this book does not have a Met or Yankee slant and how it covers both teams objectively. There is also a lot of conversation about the stadiums that they played in during this time, the original Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium…

“Get Your Tokens Ready” is available here: https://bit.ly/3Z2bYxs.
