Let’s say you’re the manager of one of the most beloved franchises in Major League Baseball, with every past and current player available on your bench. Game time is approaching and the ump needs your line-up card. Who’s your starting pitcher? Fireballer Dwight Gooden, lights-out Tom Seaver, or run-stingy Jacob deGrom? Is Gary Carter behind the plate or Mike Piazza? Who’ll bat clean-up? Combining statistical analysis, common sense, and a host of intangibles, this book constructs an all-time All-Star Mets line-up for the ages. Agree with the choices or not, you’ll learn all there is to know about the men who played for and managed New York’s Amazin’ Mets.

Brian definitely brought back memories of my days with the Mets and some of the characters I was privileged to play alongside. It was fun to read.

There's no debating Tom Seaver is the greatest Mets star of all time, but where do the other franchise luminaries rank? Brian Wright does a terrific and thorough job of making strong and compelling cases for the legends who have captured the hearts of Mets fans since 1962.
