From the Inside Flap
Most Mets fans have taken in a game or two at Shea, have seen the highlights of Game 6, and have heard the story of the '69 Miracle Mets. But only real fans realize that a smudge of shoe polish helped the team win their first world championship, know where the best place to sit in Shea's upper deck is, can recite the team's starting lineup in their inaugural season, or have visited the Mets Hall of Fame.
100 Things Mets Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die is the ultimate resource guide for true fans of the New York Mets. Whether you're a die-hard booster from the days of Tom Terrific or a recent supporter of Reyes, Wright, and the "New Mets," these are the 100 things every fan needs to know and do in their lifetime. Acclaimed author Matthew Silverman has collected every essential piece of Mets knowledge and trivia, as well as must-do activities, and ranks them all from 1 to 100, providing an entertaining and easy-to-follow checklist as you progress on your way to fan superstardom.
As the Mets prepare to leave Shea for their new digs across the street at Citi Field, 100 Things will guide you through all the places to sit and see in the old ballpark before it goes the way of the dinosaur. Never watched a game from the loge or checked out the Diamond Club? 2008 marks your last chance, and 100 Things is your must-have guide to the do's and don'ts.
Whether you're a lifelong fan, a youngster following in his or her parents' footsteps, or the significant other of a diehard fan about to be adopted into the Mets family, 100 Things Mets Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die is the perfect how-to guide to being a real fan.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: Good. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Following Star Wars: Aftermath and Star Wars: Life Debt, Chuck Wendig delivers the exhilarating conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy set in the years between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. EVERY END IS A NEW BEGINNING. As the final showdown between the New Republic and the Empire draws near, all eyes turn to a once-isolated planet: Jakku. The Battle of Endor shattered the Empire, scattering its remaining forces across the galaxy. But the months following the Rebellion's victory have not been easy. The fledgling New Republic has suffered a devastating attack from the Imperial remnant, forcing the new democracy to escalate its hunt for the hidden enemy. For her role in the deadly ambush, Grand Admiral Rae Sloane is the most wanted Imperial war criminal--and one-time rebel pilot Norra Wexley, back in service at Leia's urgent request, is leading the hunt. But more than just loyalty to the New Republic drives Norra forward: Her husband was turned into a murderous pawn in Sloane's assassination plot, and now she wants vengeance as much as justice. Sloane, too, is on a furious quest: pursuing the treacherous Gallius Rax to the barren planet Jakku. As the true mastermind behind the Empire's devastating attack, Rax has led the Empire to its defining moment. The cunning strategist has gathered the powerful remnants of the Empire's war machine, preparing to execute the late Emperor Palpatine's final plan. As the Imperial fleet orbits Jakku, an armada of Republic fighters closes in to finish what began at Endor. Norra and her crew soar into the heart of an apocalyptic clash that will leave land and sky alike scorched. And the future of the galaxy will finally be decided.
