"This is an autobiography of a former New York Mets player"--
Art Shamsky, 1969 New York Met and noted author, shares with readers stories and anecdotes from his 50-year association with the New York Mets. Through stories of varying lengths, readers will be privy to behind-the-scenes and first-hand accounts of the New York Mets from lovable losers to impossible winners in 1969, and beyond, including stories about today’s players. We witness the leadership of Tom Seaver, the steady hand of manager Gil Hodges, what it was like to share right field with charismatic Ron Swoboda, what it was like to grace a magazine cover with 1960s supermodel Lauren Hutton, in addition to a wealth of stories about the Mets, the organization, and its star players over the past half century.
Art Shamsky won a World Series with the 1969 "Miracle" New York Mets. Since his playing days, Shamsky has worked as a radio and television sports broadcaster in the New York area. With Erik Sherman, he is the author of After the Miracle: The Lasting Brotherhood of the '69 Mets.
