Overview

In early 1969, New York City and all it represented was in disarray: criminally, politically, and athletically. But as Simon and Garfunkel lamented the absence a sports icon like Joe DiMaggio, a modern Lancelot rode forth to lead the New York Mets to heights above and beyond all sports glory. This book tells the complete, unvarnished story of the great Tom Seaver, that rarest of all American heroes, the New York Sports Icon. In a city that produces not mere mortals but sports gods, Seaver represented thelast of a breed. His deeds, his times, his town-it was part of a vanishing era, an era of innocence. Here is Tom Terrific of the Amazin' Mets, worthy of a place alongside DiMaggio, Ruth, Mantle, and Namath in the pantheon of New York idols.
