Born out of expansion in 1962, the New York Mets have more than filled the void left by the departure of the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants. They have provided baseball fans in New York and around the baseball world with more than sixty years of memories including Casey Stengel's lovable losers, the improbable 1969 miracle, another world championship in 1986, and National League pennants in 1973, 2000, and 2015, with many unforgettable moments through the years. Building on the success of Amazing Mets Trivia, published in 2003, More Amazing Mets Trivia tests the memories of Mets fans of all ages with almost five hundred new questions about such Mets stars as Tom Seaver, Cleon Jones, Willie Mays, Rusty Staub, Dave Kingman, Lee Mazzilli, Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden, Keith Hernandez, Gary Carter, Mike Piazza, David Wright, Jacob de Grom, Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and many others.
