Publisher's Synopsis
They were coming off a seemingly endless string of losing records. They were considered years away from legitimate contention. They were derided and disregarded as a matter of course. But in 2015 the New York Mets changed their course and changed their story. The result was the best kind of amazin'. Against all expectations, these Mets surged from the starting gate, hung tough when adversity threatened to overwhelm their budding chances, and fortified themselves for a stretch drive few could have foreseen. In short order, they proceeded to capture a division title, raise a pennant, and lay claim to the heart of their city.
With an unforgettable cast of characters including Matt Harvey, David Wright, Jacob deGrom, Yoenis Cespedes, and Daniel Murphy, the tale of the 2015 National League champion New York Mets is told for the ages in Amazin' Again. Author Greg Princecocreator of Faith and Fear in Flushing, the blog that has distilled the heart and soul of Mets fandom for more than a decadetraces the trajectory of this championship season, from its roots in a long-ago amateur draft to its climax within the cauldron of Citi Field's first World Series. In between, Prince re-creates the emotions of a year that culminated in the Mets making New York their kind of town once again.
