About the Book

The subject of a front-page New York Times article, Frank Messina takes the same seat at every New York Mets home game. His self proclaimed title as “The Mets Poet” is emblazoned across the back of his Mets jersey and printed on the season–ticket-holder plaque next to his seat. A collection of seventy-five of his poems that pay homage to his favorite team, Full Count is the ideal inspiration for any Mets fan, whether in those all-too-long, quiet stretches of life between games or for impassioned recitation in the bleachers or in front of the TV.

About the Author :
Frank Messina, “The Mets Poet,” has regularly appeared on SNY-TV, the station that broadcasts Mets games, in video montages that feature him reciting his poetry against the visual backdrop of glorious (and not so glorious) moments in Mets baseball. A New Jersey resident, he travels nationwide giving poetry readings (not all of his work deals with the Mets) and readily admits that much of his Mets poetry is driven by the passion of being a diehard fan of a team that repeatedly endures dramatic failure and victory like no other sports team.

Review :
“No one would question a poet writing about love for a woman, but when you’re a fan of a team, the emotional attachment is even stronger, because women come and go, but your team never changes.”—Joe Benigno, WFAN (Sports Radio 66), New York City “He's the Poet Laureate of the Mets.”—Sports Illustrated “Frank Messina has become a classic.”—The New York Times “Charming and daunting…this is a wonderful book about baseball that transcends loyalty to a favorite team…Full Count: THE BOOK OF METS POETRY is a grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning for all the marbles."—Robert M. Zoschke, PRO Magazine    “An amazing collection of Mets poetry…This is no wannabee sportswriter trying to muscle his way into the press box by penning something that resembles a sports book. This is a “classic” poet, as the New York Times calls him, and he just happens to be an insane Mets fan….It’s a treasure chest of the written word…eminently accessible to any sports fan. It’s also a master work from a brilliant poet.”—Mark Healey, Baseball Digest
