Yep. I suspect the book is better than what the doc will show. Now, I'm sure the Mets weren't the only team in 1986 that had a bunch of degenerates in their ranks, but it pulls the curtain back on how pro athletes really act. They aren't highly dedicated professionals in bed for good rest before a game the next day. They would play a night game. Go out after, getting completely hammered on drugs and alcohol until 7:00 - 8:00 am. Go back home or to the hotel. Sleep all day. Roll up to the stadium for a night game. Down a handfull of amphetamines. And do it all over again that night.
