Reviews
"For the fan, or indeed anyone who wants to read a rousing story of heart, courage, and perseverance, The Magnificent Seasons is for you." - Joe Namath "The real joy of the 1969 championship season was on the field and the year-long process of the march toward victory. The excellence of applying one's trade, the competition, communication, and teamwork were, and are, what is most important and memorable from any season, and the 1969 championship was the crowning jewel for everyone on that team." - Tom Seaver "In a time when New York City needed something to lift its spirits, the Jets, Mets, and Knicks were able to do just that. All three teams found common ground as they captured the hearts and minds of their fans. The exploits of these three remarkable teams had an important and positive impact on the sport of the city when people needed it most. Their legacy endures today." - Bill Bradley "While all championships bring excitement, sometimes even joy, each of these teams had something more. They each had a kind of soulfulness and authenticity of spirit not often seen---then or now. That's how those teams seemed to me as a teenager growing up in New York and how I see them now some three and a half decades later." - Bob Costas, from his Introduction

Synopsis
The remarkable story of the season when the New York Jets, Mets, and Knicks all won championships, recounted by the players who made it happen and the fans who experienced it In 1969 three underdog New York sports teams won World Championships. It was an unprecedented feat in the history of sports, and it helped bring the nation's largest city---and much of the country---euphoria to balance the lingering political despair of 1969. And here, in The Magnificent Seasons , is that story---a re-creation of one of the most magical periods in sports history. In reflecting on these events, what they meant then and what they still mean today, Art Shamsky, a 1969 "Miracle Met," introduces the thoughts of members of every team. Highlights include comments from Joe Namath, Tom Seaver, Bill Bradley, Yogi Berra, Emerson Boozer, Jerry Koosman, and many more. But as important as these wins were to the players and coaches who made them happen, their victories meant just as much to the city and the people who celebrated them, and Shamsky includes their perspectives through such personalities as Bob Costas, David Halberstam, Rudy Giuliani, and many other fans of the city and its sports. Together, the words and pictures within make a wonderful keepsake---a book that lets fans relive three championship runs and gives a true sense of what these sports victories meant to a country suffering through a turbulent period in its history. The words and memories of the players, their fans, and their opponents carry a tremendous emotional charge, and The Magnificent Seasons takes readers back with all the heart-stopping thrill of the time when three teams captivated the country, and when New York City ruled the sporting world.
