The Magnificent Seasons

“<i>The Magnificent Seasons</i> had been on my mind for a long time. I wrote about these 3 teams, the Jets, Mets, and Knicks, all from New York City, and who ironically all won for the first time in their franchise history, because they each have etched their place in history. And, to put their championships in proper perspective, I needed to write about the turmoil that was disrupting the nation and New York City in that period. As you will see, these three teams, one of which I played for, overshadowed that turmoil and brightened the spirits of so many. Their combined legacy is part of the history of NYC and our great country.” <br>-Art Shamsky“The Magnificent Seasons had been on my mind for a long time.
