{"product_id":"9781626367715","title":"Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets","description":"The New York Mets fan is an Amazin’ creature  whose species finds its voice at last in Greg  Prince’s \u003ci\u003eFaith and Fear In Flushing\u003c\/i\u003e,  the definitive account of what it means to root  for and live through the machinations of an  endlessly fascinating if often frustrating  baseball team.  Prince, coauthor of  the highly regarded blog of the same name,  examines how the life of the franchise mirrors  the life of its fans, particularly his own.  Unabashedly and unapologetically, Prince stands  up for all Mets fans and, by proxy, sports fans  everywhere in exploring how we root, why we take it so seriously, and what it all means.  What was it like to enter a baseball world  about to be ruled by the Mets in 1969? To  understand intrinsically that You Gotta Believe? To overcome the trade of an idol and the  dissolution of a roster? To hope hard for a  comeback and then receive it in thrilling  fashion in 1986? To experience the constant ups  and downs the Mets would dispense for the next  two decades? To put ups with the Yankees right  next door? To make the psychic journey from Shea Stadium to Citi Field? To sort the myths from the realities? Greg Prince, as he has done for  thousands of loyal \u003ci\u003eFaith and Fear in  Flushing\u003c\/i\u003e readers daily since 2005, puts it  all in perspective as only he can.","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134642274544,"sku":"9781626367715","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626367715_p0.jpg?v=1763866152","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626367715","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
