They have provided baseball fans in New York and around the baseball world with close to 40 years of memories including Casey Stengel’s loveable losers, the improbable 1969 miracle, another world championship in 1986 and National League pennants in 1973 and 2000 with many unforgettable moments in between. Amazing Mets Trivia tests the memories of Met fans of all ages with hundreds of questions and facts about players including: Tom Seaver, Cleon Jones, Willie Mays, Rusty Staub, Dave Kingman, Lee Mazzili, Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Mike Piazza, Edgardo Alfonzo, John Franco and many others.
