Very good read. If you love to read about the nitty gritty down in the dirt stuff in sports this is a great read. Pearlmans writing has a good flow to it and his humour and sarcasm is enjoyable. Ball Four by Jim Bouton is the 1st expose' written about baseball and is a classic but this book is again grittier I find more enjoyable. ( )

Amazin' history of the most exciting team in Baseball history, the 1986 Mets. Includes many of the sordid details, recollections, and vintage primary sources that help make the retelling of this story a pleasure for all Mets and baseball fans. It's Metsmerizing! ( )

Pearlman’s over-the-top baseball history with a subtitle far too long to reproduce here tells the story of the 1986 Mets. My favorite team – arrogant, obnoxious, and damned fine ballplayers. Really the whole team (except Mookie) seem to be in an eternal childhood. Despite alternating between tell-it-all qualities and hero worship (the twin banes of sports literature) Pearlman writes an interesting book about an exciting team. Now more than ever I wouldn’t want to be friends with any of these guys (except Mookie) but it still brings back great memories. ( )

About the 1986 Mets, loved the read. ( )

Cocaine, liquor, womanizing, fighting, dead cats - these are the elements that helped the 1986 Mets become one of the best teams in baseball history. Kudos to Billy Buckner as well. This book travels back to the year the Mets won the World Series and takes a look at the cast of characters that made up the Amazing Mets. Must read for any baseball fan. Except Yankee fans. F off.
