Wait Till Next Year is a 1988 memoir by sportswriter Mike Lupica and screenwriter William Goldman.

The book is similar to Goldman's earlier effort The Season: A Candid Look at Broadway in that it looks at a year of New York sports teams with Goldman getting press passes to see a huge number of games.

The main focus is looking at The Mets following up their championship season while taking in the local Basketball and American Football teams too in a wildly frenetic overview of the coaches, stars, owners, trades and controversies that the season provided.

What was great, the year I did the book with Lupica, was I had press passes so I could go sit with all those people whose columns I read and watch a baseball game or a football game or a basketball game.

"[2] Goldman said the book "was a total flop - it didn't work commercially - but it was a wonderful time for me.
