The Mets Police: A Magic Summer

A Magic Summer

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but this book I never knew about just hit Clark Kent's desk. Looks cool and looks like it's been around 40 years. "A Magic Summer" Who knew?

They were the "Miracle Mets," winning a championship after a short ignominious history of catastrophic los-ing seasons. Here is the story of that most famous New York Mets season, 1969. Author Stanley Cohen inter-viewed key members of that championship team—Tom Seaver, Nolan Ryan, Jerry Koosman, Tommie Agee, Bud Harrelson, Tug McGraw, and others—providing fascinat-ing updates and insights. Complete with a new intro-duction by the author and photographs not included in previous editions, this 40th Anniversary Edition is a unique celebration of a season that Mets fans will never forget.

Excellent book, and a great idea to re-release.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
