About the Book

In the nearly 60-year-history of the New York Mets, fans have been treated to countless firsts—the first Met pitcher to record a win at Shea Stadium (Al Jackson), the first Met to hit a homer at Citi Field (David Wright), the first Cy Young Award winner for the Mets (Tom Seaver), the first Met to pitch a no-hitter (Johan Santana), and the first to appear in an All-Star Game in a Mets uniform (Richie Ashburn). The list goes on. In New York Mets Firsts, Brett Topel presents the stories behind the firsts in Mets history in question-and-answer format. More than a mere trivia book, Topel’s collection includes substantive answers to the question of “who was the first…?” on a variety of topics, many of which will surprise even seasoned fans of the Amazin’s.

About the Author :
Brett Topel is the author of four books on the New York Mets—So You Think You’re a New York Mets Fan?: Stars, Stats, Records, and Memories for True Diehards;When Shea Was Home: The Story of the 1975 Mets, Yankees, Giants, and Jets;Miracle Moments in New York Mets History; and Mount Rushmore of the New York Mets. Topel is the director of communications at Buckley Country Day School on Long Island and is an adjunct professor of journalism at Adelphi University.

Review :
"Being the first Met to reach the 30-30 club was a really special moment in my career. You can read about that, and a bunch of other exciting Mets' firsts, in this really fun book by Brett Topel." "Brett Topel does a great job capturing so many firsts in Mets history and I'm proud to be in his book several times!" "Mets fans and baseball enthusiasts alike will be amazed at all the unique and interesting "firsts" brought forward in this book. Fun to read." "Topel, a New York Mets fan for more than 50 years, brings a high level of enthusiasm for and knowledge of the team's lore (and baseball in general) to this work of love... A delightful, entertaining, and fun book about one of baseball's most valuable franchises. Baseball fans will enjoy this title even if they aren't devotees of the Mets."
