One can imagine nowadays how to come up with enough material to tell a compelling story about a single team and their one season of success; but 1986 and the Mets were unique.The players were legitimate stars; household names for any kid growing up in New York. 1986 had one of the most amazing postseasons in all of sports; throughout history. There is a world champion crowned every year; but for some reason 1986 is unforgettable to me.I credit the writer for being very informed; obviously having done thorough research. As a sportswriter the material is certainly opinionated; but fair. It's not like there is any piling on. There is a lot of information provided; with plenty of backstory. In some cases; maybe some information I wish I didn't know :)Most importantly the storytelling is great. I found myself looking up some of the games on YouTube and reliving the moments I first experienced as an 8 year old watching tv with an antenna; which is all we had. This was a time when cable tv was about to take off. 24/7 information overload there was not. Just simple enjoyment of the games; at least in my household.Baseball was by far the most popular sport in the country; and so going back to that time is reliving a unique era in the history of the country. What baseball game will ever get 60 million viewers today; like game 2 of the 86 World Series did? Really can't recommend this book enough for any baseball fan out there.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great writing; fun readBy Kindle CustomerThis book details the zany story of the 1986 Mets. Here is a team that dominated d baseball for me year and never reached the mountaintop again. Features off the field stories; describes the action in the dugout and on the field.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Brings back a lot of memoriesBy LoneAceI was only 9 when the Mets won the 1986 World Series. I still remember watching the games sitting on my parents bedroom floor. Reading this was like revisiting those games; but from an adult perspective. It was interesting to learn what various players were like outside of their on-field personalities. I didn't know that Gary Carter was pretty much universally hated by other players; and I had forgotten about Keith Hernandez's drug history. Strawberry; Gooden; and Dykstra were as I expected; but I didn't know much about the lesser stars like Teufel and Heep before reading this book. For the most part; the team was full of jerks; but what I wouldn't give to watch another team this exciting on the field these days.
