    Here are two pages mentioning Wally Backman’s return to the New York Mets as a manager for their Brooklyn farm team:

    • New York Times:  http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/17/sports/baseball/17mets.html?_r=1
    • ESPN:  http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4659913

    The ESPN article shows a photo of Wally during his time as a manager of the South Georgia Peanuts of the independent 2007 South Coast League.  The article mentions some of the events which took place during his time managing the team.

    It also mentions his time spent managing the Joliet Jackhammers of the Northern League.

    Here is a quick video clip of Wally during his time managing the South Georgia Peanuts:

    The video is from Blip.tv and was found on the PlayingForPeanuts.com website.   Depending on Blip.tv’s servers, there may be a short commercial played before the video actually starts.
