knowledge of Mets baseball. Rather than merely posing questions and
providing answers, this book will give you the details behind
each--stories that bring to life players and coaches, games and seasons.

Johnson, Dave Kingman, Gil Hodges, Jerry Koosman, Jon Matlack, John
Stearns, Darryl Strawberry, Mike Piazza, Edgardo Alfonzo, Matt Harvey,
David Wright, and so many more. The many questions that this book
answers include:
- Who was drafted number one overall by the Mets in 1984?
- Who was on deck when Mookie Wilson hit his famous ground ball to Bill
Buckner?
- There are two men enshrined in Cooperstown wearing Mets caps on their
plaques, but there are 12 other Hall of Famers who played for the Mets
at one point in their career. Name them.
- What do the Mets' World Series MVPs from 1969 and 1986 have in
common?
- The two pitchers who were on the mound in 1969 and 1986 when the final
