Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
In 1962 the brand-new Mets filled the gap in New York baseball after the move West of the Dodgers and Giants several years before. Now Lichtenstein (The New York Giants Trivia Book) offers a commemorative testimonial to the upstart team in its four decades since. A brief history covers the progress of the Mets from the early Casey Stengel-led losers up to the subway series contenders of 2000. He adds profiles of significant Mets Stengel, Gil Hodges, Mookie Wilson, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, and current star Mike Piazza among them. Concluding is a trivia section that answers the question, "Who coined the rallying cry, `Ya Gotta Believe!'?" Of primary appeal to public libraries serving fans of the Mets and of sports trivia, this fan's book is optional elsewhere. Morey Berger, St. Joseph's Hosp. Lib., Tucson

Are you a true Mets fan? Were you there when they won the 1986 World Series in the seventh game? Did you stand and cheer as the Mets demolished the St. Louis Cardinals to become the National League Champions in 2000? Do you know why the original team colors were orange and blue? How much do you really know about those lovable heroes who have brought fortune, glory, and two World Championship trophies to New York? Are you a true believer?
Do you know:
*Who the Hall of Fame outfielder was who played for the Mets in their
inaugural season and went on to become a broadcaster for the Philadelphia Phillies?
*Which Mets outfielder ran the bases backward after hitting his
100th career home run in a game in 1963?
*Which rookie outfielder swiped 24 bases in 1981 and became one of the most popular players ever to play for the Mets?
*When Tom Seaver’s rookie year was?
*Who holds the single-season Mets record for home runs?\
It’s all here, with highlights of the team’s exciting history, from the club’s beginnings in 1962 to today, including postseason play. From Casey Stengal to Tom Seaver; from Doc to Mookie-- to Mike and Fonzie—questions and answ--ers, sidebars, fascinating bios and photos gathered by lifelong Mets fan Michael Lichtenstein.

Ya Gotta Believe Its Another Mets Book
25. Juni 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was an average read as far as accounts of the history of the New York Mets go. Admittedly, I have been spoiled by some excellent ones recently, but this book just did not meet the standard to me.
The best parts of the book are the trivia questions and the brief biographies of key Mets players. The rest of the book contained numerous errors in grammar and spelling (I know, the fault of the editor, not the author). There were also several factual errors and contradictions, as well as some awkward writing. What bothered me the most were the holes in the story where it seemed like whole chunks had been left out. Several of the accounts of individual games left out key plays or developments. It read like the author was unfamiliar with the team and was writing it from reading newspaper accounts only.
Overall, a quick and somewhat entertaining read, but with some faults. If you can pick it up cheap, it might be worth it to a collector of Mets memorabilia. At least stump your friends with the trivia.
