About this book

IT’S the bottom of the 10th in Game 6, and the New York Mets are down to our last out — dead in the water, or so they think. Then Carter singles, Mitchell follows, and suddenly, the air shifts; we’re not done. A wild pitch ties it, and Mookie Wilson steps in, fouling off pitch after pitch until he taps a slow roller to first. The ball rolls, miraculously, impossibly through Bill Buckner’s legs, and Knight scores. Shea erupts, and just like that, we’re not finished … this is unforgettable.

This book tells the story of the New York Mets through authentic newspaper reports, beginning in 1962. Relive historic moments — from the 1969 Miracle World Series Win, to Bruckner’s error in the 1986 World Series victory, to the 2000 Subway Series vs. the Yankees. Follow the team’s journey decade by decade, told through the words of journalists who witnessed it.

Choose from a range of book covers and personalise your book with a name and message to create a lasting keepsake. Whether for a Mets fan, a history enthusiast, or someone who remembers it all first-hand — you hold not just a gift, but a piece of sports history ready to be passed on.

The Baseball History of New York Mets Daily News Edition FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.

Who would this baseball book make a great gift for?

Our baseball history books would make a great gift for any lover of the history of baseball. However, the each book is designed to appeal to fans of the individual baseball teams. They make a great keepsake to look back on again and again.

Does the book contain every newspaper article about the team?

If we included every article then the book would be too big to print. We have edited the book to include the most interesting articles about their victories, and defeats, to tell the the full story of the team's history.
