One-Year Dynasty: Inside the Rise and Fall of the 1986 Mets, Baseball's Impossible One-and-Done Champions - Softcover
Synopsis
Relive the games, moves, and players of the hard-hitting team that won the 1986 World Series. Vin Scully called the tenth-inning groundball in Game Six of the 1986 World Series—Mets versus Red Sox—that sealed a comeback, fueled a curse, and turned a batting champion into a scapegoat. But getting there was a long, hard slog with plenty of heartache. After being knocked out of contention the previous two seasons, the Mets blasted through the National League that year. They won blowouts, nailbiters, fights, and a 14-inning game that ended with one pitcher on the mound, another in right field, and an All-Star catcher playing third base. Matt Silverman covers famous baseball players including: Ron Darling, Dwight Gooden, Keith Hernandez, Darryl Strawberry and more. Going beyond the partying and excess, Silverman recounts in this book, step by step, the team’s meteoric rise in 1986, when they captured their first division title in over a decade, shattered the franchise record, and then won it all.

Review
Praise for Swinging '73: Baseball's Wildest Season by Matthew Silverman "A fantastic ode to a year that began with the Yankees wife-swap and ended with the Mets' second miracle." --New York Post "Silverman sets his sights on one of the sport's greatest, most dramatic, and colorful seasons ever, a go-go moment in pop-cultural time. ... Swinging '73 is a sharp, finely detailed, engrossingly entertaining snapshot of a country and its national pastime, both grooving along--though not always smoothly--to the beat of a new era." --American Profile "Swinging '73 chronicles the ups and downs, the ins and outs of one of pro baseball's most exciting years ever, and it does it in casual, breezy style. .. [A]nyone who enjoys immersing themselves in the annals of baseball lore will find Swinging '73 to be the perfect kind of read: a fastball right down the plate." --Bleacher Report "One of the most entertaining new baseball books of the spring." --Hardball Times
