Description
No sports franchise in history has offered its loyal following a more dramatic sampling of painful and laughable lows, alongside stunning and odds-defying highs, than the New York Mets. The love of broken-hearted, jilted Dodger and Giant fans for this new team was forged in this baseball-loving city's desparate desire for a new National League representative. But this only begins to explain the Mets' place in the city's heart. This is an anecdotal, whimsical, and numerical look back at the games and the people who defined 40 years of logic-defying magic.
