Shawn Green on his Jewish Faith, PED Peers, David Wright's Cooperstown Case | New York Accent - Video

Shawn Green only played a pair of seasons in New York, but they were two of the most memorable for different reasons. He was part of the '06 team that made Game 7 of the NLCS and the '07 squad which collapsed in historic fashion. He discusses whether the Mets should've won a World Series over the Tigers, and how it all went wrong the next season. He is considered the greatest Jewish ballplayer and talks about how he embraced his faith and decided to sit on Yom Kippur. Green also looks back at the PED Era and where his stats rank, plus whether David Wright would've been in Cooperstown. He founded the tech company Greenfly and is helping baseball catch up in the social media space.
