Forty former New York Mets players share their memories of their time with one of baseball’s most beloved franchises in You Never Forget Your First: A Collection of New York Mets Firsts. Mark Rosenman and Howie Karpin have collected first-person reminiscences from such fan favorites as “The Captain” David Wright, Hall of Famer Tom Glavine, 1969 Miracle Mets Ron Swoboda, Art Shamsky, Ed Kranepool, and Jerry Koosman, original Mets Frank Thomas and Hobie Landrith, and 1986 World Series champions Howard Johnson and Jesse Orosco as well as many others who have worn the orange and blue. Spanning six decades of the team’s colorful history, these proud Mets cover everything from playing for their first managers to their first training camps, postseason games, and even their first baseball card and so much more. As Howie Rose, the voice of the New York Mets points out in in his foreword to this unique book, “Ron Swoboda nailed it in the postgame celebration after the Mets won the 1969 World Series when he said, “You could only win it the first time once.”
