No baseball team has captured Americas imagination like the Mets. Alternately the Lovable Losers and the Miracle Mets, New Yorks other team offers fascinating fodder for writer Richard Grossinger in this thoughtful collection. The New York Mets is a series of probing essays on the best and most interesting years of the team, particularly 1969, 1973, 1986, and last years abbreviated run. A pivotal essay chronicles the lives of a professional athlete and a diehard fan to create a wellargued, deeply felt meditation on the ways in which franchise baseball has come to fail not only the fans but the players.This centerpiece presents a poignant narrative of Mets pitcher Terry Leach and author Grossingers own experiences playing and tracking the sport. Taken together, these powerful essays alternately take the poets, the alchemists, and the players perspective to paint a composite portrait that brings all the stunning highs and dispiriting lows together to show the ways in which Americas favorite pastime has changed. Grossinger reflects on the salad days when teams were happily homegrown and laments the current moneyball scenario some call baseball today.
