Culled from 50 years' worth of columns from one of the country's most
popular sportswriters, this work stands as a remarkable collection of
opinions that is guaranteed to delight Mets fans of all ages. Former
New York Times columnist Ira Berkow captures the spirit of the Mets in
this unforgettable collection of opinions, stories, and observations
from his long and distinguished career as he interviews and comments on
the team. From memories of inaugural franchise manager Casey Stengel and
Hall of Famer Tom Seaver to reflections on ace Johan Santana and the
superstar David Wright, this collection combines Berkow's eye for detail
with the comedy and drama revealed by the subjects themselves, bringing
to life Mets' personalities from the last half century.
