  >BAD METS > FAMOUS METS FANS > Michael Wayne
 

Michael Wayne is the author of The Knuckleball From Hell. Before writing this highly irreverent novel-which one reviewer has said "if Tom Robbins and Kurt Vonnegut teamed up to write a baseball novel, this would be it"-he was the author of a serious nonfiction book about the field of medicine. He decided to write a comedy about a fictional Mets team because he looked at how many books and novels were written about the Yankees, and he realized he had to do his share to help even things out and end the Evil Empire's grip on the minds and souls of humble baseball fans.

 

He is a Brooklyn, NY native and has been a Mets fans for as long as he can remember. His earliest childhood memory is at age three months, sitting on his grandpappy's knee while chewing tobacco and talking about the New York Mets.

He considers the Marx Brothers to be the biggest influence in his life, which demonstrates his level of arrested development.

In his spare time, when he is not obsessing over the Mets and baseball, Michael Wayne speaks in tongues to pigeons, races centipedes, and studies the mating habits of rocks.
