In his new book, The Amazin' Mets: An Intense Personal History, Verducci tells the story of the Mets from their humble beginnings to their improbable World Series victory in 1969. He draws on his own experiences as a fan, as well as interviews with players, coaches, and executives, to create a rich and detailed portrait of one of the most beloved teams in baseball history.
Verducci begins the book by describing the Mets' early years, when they were the laughingstock of the National League. The team lost more than 100 games in each of its first three seasons, and it seemed like they would never be able to compete.
But then, in 1969, everything changed. The Mets, led by a young and talented team, went on a magical run to the World Series. They defeated the heavily favored Baltimore Orioles in five games, and Verducci was there to witness it all.
In the years since the Mets' World Series victory, Verducci has continued to follow the team closely. He's seen them win more pennants and division titles, but he's also seen them struggle through some tough times.
Through it all, Verducci has never lost his love for the Mets. In The Amazin' Mets, he shares his passion for the team with readers, and he tells the story of how the Mets have come to mean so much to him.
If you're a Mets fan, you'll love The Amazin' Mets. It's a must-read for any fan of baseball history.
