The Mets may be New York's no. 2 team, but they are no. 1 in the hearts of their loyal legions of followers. Despite a rough start upon joining the National League in 1962 (collecting just 40 wins) they have tasted sweet success since then, including two World Series titles. From Tom "Teriffic" Seaver to David Wright, a long line of memorable Mets have graced the diamond in blue, orange, and white. In For the Love of the Mets, many of these stars are lovingly represented by the colorful illustrations of Mark Anderson and lyrical text of Frederick C. Klein. The book offers the ideal way for different generations of Mets faithful to share their passion for one "Amazin" baseball franchise
