My Mets Bible

Scoring 30 Years of Baseball Fandom

By: Evan Roberts

Narrated by: Evan Roberts

A Love Letter To New York Mets Fandom—the triumphs, the heartbreak, and everything in between.

Childhood for Evan Roberts was defined by outings to the old Shea Stadium with his father, always with a scorebook in hand. What began as a gameday ritual replete with misspelled player names and scrawled symbols turned into an obsession with scoring every game he watched, one which persisted as Roberts rose through the ranks at WFAN. Taken together, those scorebooks form a living, breathing Mets diary spanning 30 years of thrilling—and, at times, tortured—fandom.

My Mets Bible is an exercise in memory and nostalgia, and a meditation on the things that stick with us as sports fans. With his personal scorecards as a guide, Roberts brings to life some of the most unforgettable moments in Mets lore, offering a fresh perspective on the highs and lows of being a die-hard fan.

Meticulously kept history mixes with personal recollections and behind-the-scenes anecdotes covering touchstone events such as Johan Santana’s no-hitter, Robin Ventura’s grand slam “single,” and the loss that Roberts has never quite gotten over. By turns heartfelt and hilarious, Roberts delivers a thrilling and unique journey through modern Mets history.

Shared memories.

Great listen. I grew up at the same time so this brought back so many memories of some great games. And neat way to write the book. Score cards and memories. Let’s Go Mets.

relatable

loved it all! I listen to Evan almost everyday on the radio and we share the wrenching Fandom of being mets fans

Everything!

Loved it! I’m a huge Mets fan! I’m a huge Evan Roberts fan! This brings back so many memories good or bad!

The devil is in the details… No not the New Jersey Devils…

I have listened to Evan and Tiki for a while now. Although knowing Evan was an avid Mets fan, I did not realize the depth of it. I re-experienced a lot of bad baseball games in vivid detail. I’ve been fortunate to be born in 1970 so I experienced the Mets win it all in 1986. Very very good book on my beloved and hated Metropolitan’s.

The memories I had from games scored

Great choices for the scorecards for this book. I was at the Bobby Jones playoff 1 hitter as well as several other games in the book. Great job Evan Robert’s. Hopefully he will write something again soon.
