Description

Yells For Ourselves looks back at the 1999-2000 New York Mets, a pivotal time in the history of the franchise and baseball itself, when the franchise made a last-ditch attempt to reclaim the city they once owned. After missing out on a playoff spot by one game the previous season, the Mets entered 1999 with targets on their backs, the media judging their status on a minute-to-minute basis. They were led by a manager who was as ingenious as he was self destructive, and a GM in perpetual big-splash win-now mode. Together, they danced with death more times than was healthy, and crafted some of the most insanely exciting baseball ever played, only to run right smack into the juggernaut known as The Yankee Dynasty. "Yells For Ourselves" uses these Mets teams as an object lesson in how perceptions of a team can change to suit a media narrative. It puts forth the idea that enjoyment of sports isn't a zero-sum game, and that fans are free to celebrate the teams that suit their idea of what it means to truly succeed.

Customer Reviews

A great read for fans of any team

I've read Matt Callan's work for years and he's as good a baseball writer as you'll find anywhere but he's also a great writer, period. "Yells For Ourselves" is more than a Mets book and more than a baseball book. It's about struggling to overcome long odds and redefining the meaning of success. I highly recommend you read this.
