Paul D. Zimmerman (July 3, 1938 in New York City, New York-March 2, 1993 in Princeton, New Jersey) was a screenwriter, film critic and author. He was a film critic for Newsweek magazine from 1967 to 1975, and also wrote for television shows including Sesame Street, but is best known for writing The King of Comedy (1982), directed by Martin Scorsese. He was also the co-writer of Lovers and Liars (1979) and Consuming Passions (1988). Zimmerman was the author of many other screenplays as well as the books The Open Man, The Year the Mets Lost Last Place and The Marx Brothers at the Movies (1968). Richard Jay Schaap (September 27, 1934-December 21, 2001) was an American sportswriter, broadcaster, and author. Schaap began work as assistant sports editor of Newsweek. In 1964, he began a thrice-weekly column concerning current events. He became editor of SPORT magazine in 1973. In 1988 he began hosting The Sports Reporters on ESPN cable television. He hosted Schaap One on One on ESPN Classic and an ESPN Radio program called The Sporting Life with Dick Schaap. The Year The Mets Lost Last Place examines the heart of the Mets' bid--nine crucial days in the middle of July, nine days of drama and humor, nine days of victory and defeat. Minute by minute, this book traces the tension of the nine days. It follows the Mets to their homes, into their locker room, and, of course, onto the field. Here is Ed Kranepool, the butt of the fans' frustration, delivering a key base hit that climaxes a ninth-inning rally; here is Tom Seaver, the articulate college man, reaching for a perfect game; here is Tommie Agee, once deported from Chicago by the White Sox, returning to the Second City to haunt the bleacher Bums; here is skinny Al Weis, who doesn't look strong enough to hit a ball out of the infield, driving balls out of Wrigley Field. And, here, too, are the Mets' opponents during the nine crucial days--Leo Durocher, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, Ferguson Jenkins, and baseball's bilingual expansion, the Montreal Expose, losing in two languages.
