Description

A Magic Summer tells of that remarkable season by chronicling the major events as viewed twenty years later. Interviews conducted twenty years after with members of the team-Seaver, Ryan, McGraw, and others-provide immediacy and, with that, fascinating updates and insights. This is a unique record and celebration of a season that Mets fans-and all baseball fans-will not soon forget.
