Meet the Mets 2008 is the most comprehensive and thorough guide to the 2008 Mets season available. Most preseason annuals cover all of baseball, and they never deliver enough team-specific information, but now there’s a publication that can quench the desire of any Mets diehard with a bevy of analysis, information, interviews, and nostalgia.
A position-by-position breakdown of the 2008 roster will get fans quickly up to speed on the new-look Mets. Further, an in-depth analysis of GM Omar Minaya’s moves is included, as well as a look at some of the most lopsided trades in franchise history. The book also offers a poignant farewell to venerable Shea Stadium as the Mets look to move into new digs in 2009. A look back at great moments in Mets history is also included, including a twentieth anniversary remembrance of the 1988 division champions and how they just might have been better than the 1986 juggernaut. Moreover, Meet the Mets 2008 evaluates the entire organization, including an in-depth look at the farm system and top prospects.
It’s all packed into more than a hundred pages of ad-free, full-color Mets information unlike anything else on the market. Written by Mets fans for Mets fans, Meet the Mets 2008 is the essential season reference for any diehard fan!
