Editorial reviews

When the Dodgers and Giants departed for California, leaving the Yankees as the only ball club in town, New York needed another baseball team to root for. What they got was the Mets. Janet Paskin showcases some of the great stories behind the inaugural Mets season, which saw the team lose 120 games, still a modern baseball record. Mark Turetsky's genial, easy-going demeanor enhances these tales of owner Joan Whitney Payson, manager Casey Stengel, and the hapless but colorful players who comprised the first Mets roster. Paskin's collection is a complete and often hilarious history of baseball's most lovable losers.
