From First to Worst: The New York Mets, 1973-1977

By Jerry Koosman and Jacob Kanarek

The "Miracle Mets" of 1969 had great hopes and enormous expectations for the coming decade. Unfortunately, they would be forced to watch hopes and dreams slowly fade to despair. From First to Worst details the Mets' climb from last place in August of 1973 to within one game of the world championship, followed by annual struggles and a collapse in 1977. This work chronicles the rise and fall of the Mets in detail, profiling key players and taking the reader to the locker room and ballpark on a day-to-day basis.
