AMAZING: The Miracle of the Mets

by Joseph Durso ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 14, 1970

Times reporter Durso describes the frabjous days and the men who made them in colorful detail in a book that is certain to light up the best seller scoreboards. The emphasis is on the players and the managers from the verbal antics of Casey Stengel to the quiet direction of Gil Hodges and how the win syndrome carried over into their personal style (even if the team did occasionally get stuck in elevators and locked out of rooms and pitcher Tom Seaver didn't get a chance to eat before the opener of the World Series because the hotel was too crowded. . . with fans). It's a thrill-packed replay, in the words of unquenchable Casey. . . ""Amazin'.
