In early 1969, New York City and all it represented was in
disarray: politically, criminally, and athletically. But while
Simon and Garfunkel lamented the absence of a sports icon like Joe
DiMaggio, a modern Lancelot rode forth to lead the New York Mets to
heights above and beyond all sports glory. This book tells the
complete, unvarnished story of the great Tom Seaver, that rarest of
all American heroes, the New York Sports Icon. In a city that
produces not mere mortals but sports gods, Seaver represented the
last of a breed. His deeds, his times, his town-it was part of a
vanishing era, an era of innocence. In 1969, six years after John
F. Kennedy's assassination, Seaver and the Mets were the last gasp
of idealism before free agency, Watergate, and cynicism. Here is
the story of "Tom Terrific" of the "Amazin' Mets," a man worthy of
a place alongside DiMaggio, Ruth, Mantle, and Namath in the
pantheon of New York idols.
