Can't Anybody Here Play This Game? is a book written by journalist Jimmy Breslin, about the 1962 New York Mets.[1][2] The book chronicles the first season of the Mets, an expansion team that lost many games. The title of the book came from a remark made by Mets manager Casey Stengel expressing his frustration over the team's spectacular ineptitude.
