A Great Tribute to One of Baseball's Great Venues

Former Mets first baseman Keith Hernandez' wonderful tribute to Shea Stadium portrays a fascinating look into one of baseball's most colorful franchises---and the ballpark they used to call home. How time flies. When the hapless Mets first came into the National League (1962), they inhabited the venerable & somewhat delapidated Polo Grounds; but only for a couple of seasons. Shea Stadium was built just for them, in beautiful Flushing, NY, and by 1969, the whole world was familiar with Shea, as the now Amazing Mets captured their first World Series championship. Hernandez, who is quite a Civil War history buff, pens a very well written tribute to the ballpark he grew to love during his remarkable Mets career. His honest & witty style of writing will make any fan of the game smile, as he recalls the great relationship he & his teammates built with the loyal Mets fans over the years. The recent history of this team has been somewhat bittersweet, but they have certainly had their share of great moments to relish. This is certainly a book any diehard Mets fan will embrace, as well as any fan of the game in general. The untold story of 2008's final season of Mets baseball from the former great Hernandez is a most compelling winner, indeed.

COMPELLING TRIBUTE!

Readers, even if they are not Mets fans, will enjoy the stroll down memory lane as the book accounts for the final chapter in the Shea era.
