Product Information
"This is a weird, wonderful, and essential book about both America and its pastime. It's about a place as vast as New York City and as intimate as the human heart. Fred Exley meets Richard Ben Cramer--a funny, wild, heartfelt, and keenly observed portrait of yearning itself."--Wright Thompson, New York Times bestselling author of The Cost of These Dreams "Mr. Gordon's ability to explain the Sisyphean plight of all Mets fans is truly remarkable. Bravo!"--Ron Darling, New York Times bestselling author of Game 7, 1986 The Mets lose when they should win. They win when they should lose. And when it comes to being the worst, no team in sports has ever done it better than the Mets. In So Many Ways to Lose, author and lifelong Mets fan Devin Gordon sifts through the detritus of Queens for a baseball history like no other. Remember the time the Mets lost an All-Star after Yoenis Céspedes got charged by a wild boar? Or the time they blew a six-run ninth-inning lead at the peak of a pennant race? Or the time they fired their manager before he ever managed a game? Sure you do. It was only two years ago, and it was all in the same season. The Mets have an unrivaled gift for getting it backward, doing the impossible, snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, and then snatching defeat right back again. And yet, just ask any Mets fan: Amazing and/or miraculous postseason runs are as much a part of our team's identity as losing 120 games in 1962. The DNA of seasons like 1969, the original Miracle Mets, and the 1973 "Ya Gotta Believe" Mets, who went from last place to Game 7 of the World Series in two months, and the powerhouse 1986 Mets, has encoded in us this hapless instinct that a reversal of fortune is always possible. It's happened before. It's kind of our thing. And now we've got Steve Cohen's hedge-fund billions to play with! What could go wrong? In this hilarious history of the Mets and love letter to the art of disaster, Devin Gordon presents baseball the way it really is, not in the wistful sepia tones we've come to expect from other sportswriters. Along the way, he explains the difference between being bad and being gifted at losing, and why this distinction holds the key to understanding the true amazin' magic of the New York Mets.

Reviews
A Joyous Celebration, a Reminder That There's a Nobility in Rooting for a Sublimely Hopeless Team., So Many Ways to Lose is, ironically, a 20-game winner. Devin Gordon's ability to explain the Sisyphean plight of all Mets fans is truly remarkable, and I was thoroughly entertained with his stories of how coming up short can be an art form. Bravo., Devin Gordon pulls off something here that's so hard: writing about one team in a way that makes you feel like he's actually writing about your team. I've never watched a Mets game in my life, but two chapters in, I couldn't put this book down., "So Many Ways to Lose is, ironically, a 20-game winner.

But what kind of person actually chooses the Mets? In So Many Ways to Lose, Devin Gordon answers that question with a gift for jaunty fatalism and aphoristic self-abasement." -- Tom Junod, two-time National Magazine Award winner "Devin Gordon's vivisection of the psyche of a Mets fan is brutal and hilarious. It's a must-read for anyone who loves baseball." -- Jeff Passan, ESPN senior MLB insider and New York Times bestselling author of The Arm "This is a weird, wonderful, and essential book about both America and its pastime.
