The Wally Backman Petition

Of course, with the latest Mets collapse, there is a new wave of interest in potential new Mets managers. At the top of the list is Wally Backman - an accomplished minor league manager who was an instrumental part of the 1986 World Series Championship Team.

It seems pretty obvious that the Mets are going to bring back Jerry Manuel, which is fine with all of us here at VoteWally.net. However, the Wally Backman petition is simply to ask the Mets to hire Wally Backman as a coach or manager somewhere in the organization.

So if you are a Mets fan and you want Wally Backman back in the organization in some capacity, click here to sign the petition.

And if you want a refresher course on what Wally Backman has accomplished at the minor league level and how he was royally screwed by the Arizona Diamondbacks, watch the video below.
