Overview

A Year in Mudville is the full and complete story of the 1962 New York Mets, the worst team in modern baseball history, as told through the words of those who were there: players, coaches, sportswriters and fans. The Original Mets lost three-quarters of their games, and yet, they remain one of the most beloved baseball teams of all time. They were, in the immortal words of their equally-immortal manager, Casey Stengel, ""Amazin'."" Originally published in 2010, A Year in Mudville has now been revised and greatly expanded, with fifty percent more information about the players who made it all possible, the writers who covered the team, and the results on and off the field. The book is based on interviews with players, writers and fans, as well as all of the existing documentary evidence about the Original Mets. Jay Hook, who was the winning pitcher in the Mets' first victory, called A Year in Mudville ""the ultimate clearinghouse for information about the 1962 Mets.""
