4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any Mets' fan..., July 15, 2008

By	M. V. Marinello (New York) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Simply put, it is a must have for any New York Mets fan. While I wish there was more drama and build up to some of the excerpts - Todd Pratt's walk-off homerun against the Diamondbacks as an example - I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. It will be something I can use to look back on the past and remember with fondness, as well as something to get me through the rough times when the present isn't going so well...
