The Amazin Mets 1962 - 1969 $26.95

Did your dad grow up with the Mets?

This book chronicles the early years of the New York Mets, from their clownish 120-loss inaugural season to their improbable 1969 World Series Championship — which fittingly coincided with man’s landing on the moon.

Chock full of quotes from Casey Stengel and visions of Hot Rod Kanehl, Choo Choo Coleman, Marvelous Marv Throneberry, and Ron Swoboda (among others — over 100 player interviews in all), this tome is THE definitive narrative on the birth and adolescence of the New York Mets.
