Breaking News: Wally Backman gets Brooklyn Job



By Joe DeMayo ~ November 13th, 2009. Filed under: Mets Minors.

Breaking News from NYBD’s Mike Silva: The Mets will announce in a press conference on Tuesday that Wally Backman will be back in the organization to manage the Brooklyn Cyclones for the 2010 season. Wally is part of the Mets apparent plan to inject more Met history into the organization despite there being so little in their stadium. I’ll believe this Mets Hall of Fame when I see it. More on this as it develops.
