Can't Anybody Here Play This Game? is a book written by Jimmy Breslin chronicling the 1962 New York Mets season. The book chronicled the first season for the New York Mets, an expansion team. The title of the book supposedly came from a remark made by Mets manager Casey Stengel expressing his frustration over the team's spectacular ineptitude.
