This is a great trivia book! Co-authors Adell and Samelson draw together hundreds of great trivia questions covering the 40+ year history of Mets history. There are chapters on individuals from Agee to (Mookie) Wilson, plus sections on managers, postseason teams, and miscellaneous chapters including Met trades, uniform numbers, team records, and announcers. I recommend this to Mets fan as well as baseball historians and casual fans.

This book represents a lifetime of work by the authors. Ross and Ken live and breathe Mets trivia and these are questions you will not find anywhere else. A Mets fan should not be without this book.

I also want to use this space, to remember my friend Ross Adell, who passed away in June 2006. Ross loved trivia, Seinfeld, the Mets, and his friends- not necessarily in that order. Ross and I attended a number of games at Shea and Fenway over the past decade. I miss him, and I can't believe he's gone.

The last time I ever visited with Ross we were at Shea, in 2005. This was the first time I saw his book. It is an excellent trivia book (even a Yankee fan enjoyed this one!). You know he spent massive amount of time compiling the book!

I would like to give my dad and ross a round of applause. Great book dad! And ross will be in memory forever.

After reading one of the other reviews, I bought this book as a gift for my 9-year-old, baseball-obsessed nephew, but after skimming through it, I don't think this book is for kids. The trivia in this book is extremely arcane. I think it's for the older, lifelong Mets fan only. So instead of giving it to my nephew, I gave it to a friend of mine who is in his 40s. He really likes it, and he knows, or can figure out, the answers to a lot of the questions!

bought for my 9 yr old grandson who loves the mets. he thoughly enjoys reading all the interesting facts. i recommend it highly
