The 1962 New York Mets were one of the worst teams in baseball history. They lost 120 games, a record that still stands today. But despite their terrible record, the Mets were a lovable team, and their fans were some of the most loyal in baseball.

In this book, author Tim Wiles tells the story of the 1962 Mets from the inside, with stories from the players, coaches, and fans who were there. It's a funny, heartwarming, and ultimately inspiring story about a team that never gave up.

The Players

One of the most popular players on the team was Casey Stengel, the Mets' manager. Stengel was a legendary figure in baseball, and he had a knack for getting the most out of his players. He was also known for his colorful personality and his love of the game.

But even though they were losing, the Mets never gave up. They played hard every day, and they always had a good time ng it. They were a team of underdogs, and they loved to prove people wrong.

The Mets' biggest win of the season came on September 23, when they beat the Houston Colt .45s 11-2. It was the Mets' first win in over a month, and it gave the team a glimmer of hope.

The Fans

The Mets' fans were some of the most loyal in baseball. They knew that their team was going to lose, but they didn't care. They came to the games to have a good time, and to root for their team.

The Mets' fans were also known for their sense of humor. They would often make fun of their team, but they always did it with love. They knew that the Mets were a bad team, but they didn't care. They just wanted to have a good time.
