By Hilary Barhydt Frank Strauss has written a terrific history of the New York Mets. With a sportswriter's attention to facts and color and a sports fan's love of history and anecdotes, he has captured the spirit of the Mets. This is a fun book for any Mets fan. In addition to my own copy, I have given four or five copies to other Mets fans.

Those Championship Seasons By DS from LA As a lifelong Mets fan who greatly enjoyed Frank Strauss' earlier study of the 1947 Yankees ("Dawn of a Dynasty"), I was happy to see him giving equal time to the Mets in his latest book. Strauss meticulously and in straightforward prose recaps the Mets' four National League pennant-winning seasons (1969, 1973, 1986, and 2000), two of which culminated in World Series victories (with 1986 against the Boston Red Sox being one of the most memorable Series ever played). The story is told largely by the players, coaches, and managers through a combination of new interviews conducted by Strauss and media statements made at the time of the recounted events. Reading this book brought back great childhood memories (Tom Seaver was my first-ever sports hero), reminded me of some great players I hadn't thought about in years, and vividly recreated some events that are forever seared into my brain (Strauss' description of the I-still-can't-believe-it-happened 10th inning of Game 6 of the '86 Series merits special commendation). But this is no mere rehash of box scores; Strauss ably blends the thrilling play-by-play action with a touching and nostalgic elegy for the late Shea Stadium, as well as a palpable love and respect for the game of baseball.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Just the facts ... By BG ... and not much else here. A brief, chronological look at the Mets playoff history with some transitional chapters in between. Not a lot new and some real misses. No discussion of the 1973 game 6 decision to go with Seaver on short rest. No mention of Strawberry bring pulled from game 6 in 86. While you will learn the attendance at every home playoff game, what you won't get is any opinion or analysis of the critical decisions involved in each series or the subsequent roster moves as the team rebuilt over the years.
