No sports franchise in history has offered its loyal following a more dramatic sampling of painful and laughable lows, alongside stunning and odds-defying highs, than the New York Mets. The love of broken-hearted, jilted Dodger and Giant fans for this new team was forged in this baseball-loving city's desparate desire for a new National League representative. But this only begins to explain the Mets` place in the city`s heart. This is an anecdotal, whimsical, and numerical look back at the games and the people who defined 40 years of logic-defying magic.

Reading this is like deja vu all over again. Everything you need to know about the Mets is here. -- Yogi Berra
Whatever Blatt doesn't know about the Mets hasn't happened yet. A true delight for Mets fans and baseball fans alike. -- Harvey Araton - New York Times
