This book tells the tale of the single most impossible, unbelievable, and wonderful sports story of all time?of the 1969 "Amazin' Mets" and their incredible spring, summer, and fall. But it does much more than simply recount how the worst sports franchise ever ascended to greatness in a few short months. The 1969 Miracle Mets is the story of tumultuous times: the 1960s. Against the backdrop of the Vietnam War, the New York Mets proved to be a metaphor for a changing America and, in retrospect, the catapult for the eventual comeback of a battered-yet-unbowed Metropolis. Tom Seaver and his teammates come alive in these pages as the final symbols of an innocent age, an age when the greatest icons in American culture?New York sports heroes?mounted the stage in awesome splendor, before Watergate, before free agency, before the mercenaries took over.
