Rubin a journalist on the Mets beat covers the 2005 season focusing on the team’s Latin American free agent stars Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran, and new GM Omar Minaya. He doesn’t stick to that theme too thoroughly or investigate it much but does at least differentiate from the racist detractors who call the team Los Mets and Minaya’s real effort to attract the best talent from Latin America starting with youth scouting as well as marketing the team to a wider populace beyond Queens. Most of the book is a day-by-day journal of the highs and lows of the New Mets season. Rubin uses a journalistic device of introducing events and the recapitulating and expanding on them several paragraphs later that doesn’t work as well in a book as it does in a newspaper article. Other than that, this was a fun way to relive 2005 and learn a bit more about my favorite team. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
In 2004, the New York Mets finished 20 games under .500. Two years later, they were the N.L. East champs and finished just one game away from the World Series. In this fun and insightful book, beat reporter Adam Rubin chronicles the rebirth of this beloved franchise. General manager Omar Minaya worked around the clock to sign free agents Pedro Martinez and Carlos Beltran and then, in 2006, traded for Carlos Delgado and Paul Lo Duca. These players, along with future Hall of Famer Tom Glavine and young phenoms Jose Reyes and David Wright, helped turn a struggling team into a pennant contender. The author takes us up to the thrilling postseason series with the Dodgers and Cardinals, culminating in one of the most exciting Game Sevens in recent memory. Fans are sure to enjoy reliving the team's turnaround as they look ahead to what promises to be an exciting future for the Amazin' Mets! Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
