by Peter Golenbock

From Tom Seaver to Gary Carter, from Ron Swoboda to Al Leiter, the players whose stories make up "AmazinU" will delight sports fans everywhere.

From the publisher

An oral history of the New York Mets, by the New York Times bestselling baseball writer of Bums and The Bronx Zoo.

From Tom Seaver to Gary Carter, Ron Swoboda to Al Leiter, from the team's inception to the current day, the New York Mets' road to success has been a rutted and furrowed path. Now, with the help of New York Times bestselling author Peter Golenbock, the complete story of one of the most controversial teams in baseball history comes to life. Told from the voices of the men who experienced it firsthand, this compulsively readable account gives baseball fans the inside scoop on one of baseball's most popular teams. This is the true story of a group of men who won the hearts and shattered the dreams of generations. Utilizing dozens of personal interviews with players, coaches, fans, and sportswriters, Amazin' takes readers on a journey from the Mets' bumbling days as a new team in 1962, to their stunning World Championships in 1969 and 1986, right up through to today. In time for the anniversary of the New York Mets, Amazin' is rich with unforgettable personalities and wondrous stories both funny and poignant.

First line

In the summer of 1880, Jim Mutrie, the founding father of major league baseball in New York City, rode his bicycle on dirt roads, from a small town south of Boston to New York City with the intention of founding a professional baseball franchise in Manhattan.
