Time to gear up Mr. Peabody’s WABAC machine for another stroll into the garden of Baby Boomer nostalgia, this time in the form of a new book by Mark Rosenman and Howie Karpin called “Down on the Korner.”
The subject, as you might have gleaned from the spelling, is “Kiner’s Korner,” the late, beloved postgame show hosted by the late, beloved Mets announcer Ralph Kiner.
The idea for the book literally tumbled out of a wall at Rosenman’s house in Commack shortly after Kiner died in early 2014 at age 91.
Rosenman had been upgrading the flooring in preparation to sell and was having a wall unit removed when he heard a “loud thud, and then more thuds.
