Includes acknowledgments, rear section of statistics, and illustrated with black and white photographs. "Some people still might not believe in us, but then, some people still think the world is flat." - outfielder Cleon Jones, after the Mets won the 1969 World Series "People had always kidded us that there would be men on the moon before the Mets ever got to first place," observed Mets infielder Ed Kranepool, "and they were right." But not by much. In 1969, the same year that men landed on the moon, the Mets ended the seven years of lovable futility that had dogged their hapless franchise since its inception - and became World Champions. How they did it became the stuff of legend. A Magic Summer tells of that remarkable season by chronicling the major events.interviews - conducted especially for this book - with Seaver, Ryan, McGraw, and others from the '69 Mets provide immediacy and, with that, fascination updates and insights. This is a unique record and celebration of a season that Mets fans - and all baseball fans - will not soon forget.". Seller Inventory # 000618
