The New York Mets All-Time All-Stars: The Best Players at Each Position for the Amazin's

by Brian Wright

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 de Grom? Is Gary Carter behind the plate or Mike Piazza? Who'll bat clean-up? Combining statistical analysis, common sense, and a host of intangibles, Brian Wright constructs an all-time All-Star Mets line-up for the ages. Agree with his choices or not, you'll learn all there is to know about the men who played for and managed New York's Amazin' Mets.

No more debating now!

Must read for any NY Mets fan. This may reduce the number of debates on all time Metropolitan greats by position at the pub for fans. I'm sure fans can debate who belongs on Wright's honorable mention lists, but no complaints here. Loved this book
