An award-winning sports writer takes us back to the wild and crazy year of 1986 when the New York Mets, led by larger-than-life personalities like Keith Hernandez and Dwight Gooden, won 108 games and the World Series. But their bad-boy antics both off and on the field threatened to overshadow their achievements. This book celebrates the Mets' unforgettable cast of characters and their place in baseball history as one of the most rock-and-roll-and-party-all-night teams of all time.

Este libro se inicia en Londres, el 26 de octubre de 1775, cuando Su Majestad el rey Jorge III se dirigió al Parlamento para declarar a las colonias de Norteamérica en estado de rebelión y afirmar su resolución de aplastarlas. La historia viaja luego por el asedio de Boston y Nueva York, avanzando hasta el relato que el autor nos ofrece de la batalla de Brooklyn y de la osada huida americana que a ella siguió, y que pocos lectores olvidarán. Derrota a derrota, el bando americano parecía haber perdido toda esperanza, hasta que George Washington lanzó el "golpe magistral" que cambiaría la Historia.
