From Word of Sport:

The fortieth anniversary history of the New York Mets, the most beloved and frustrating team in New York. This door-stop of a book is a richly detailed chronicle of the Mets' progress from their bumbling start in 1962 through two World Series triumphs up to the present day and features scores of anecdotes.

From the Publisher:

From Tom Seaver to Gary Carter, from Ron Swoboda to Al Leiter, the players whose stories make up Amazin' will delight sports fans everywhere. As he did with his classics of sports literature, Bums, and Dynasty, The New York Times bestselling sportswriter turns to a team that has both captured and broken the hearts of generations of fans.

Utilizing dozens of personal interviews with players, coaches, fans, sportswriters, and clubhouse personnel, Amazin' takes readers from the bumbling but lovable 1962 team to the 1986 world champion juggernaut, and up to today. Peter Golenbock has created the perfect gift for every baseball fan: an unbelievable treasure trove of wondrous stories and unforgettable anecdotes.
