Member of the 1969 New York Mets and Author Art Shamsky "When We First Saw Pete Rose We Wondered Why They Even Signed Him"

Former MLB player and St. Louis native Art Shamsky stops by to discuss his new book "Mets Stories I Only Tell My Friends." Art shares with us what it was like being a member of the 1969 World Series winning New York Mets, how he learned he got traded to the team, trying to sneak in to MLB tryout camps at age 14 in St. Louis and his thoughts on his old minor league roommate Pete Rose having his lifetime ban lifted after his passing. Art's book is available now.
