Synopsis

The Forgotten Miracle takes readers on a journey through one of baseball’s most unlikely underdog stories—the 1973 "Ya Gotta Believe" Mets. While most fans instantly think of the "Miracle Mets" of 1969, with their young stars and commanding 100-win season, few realize that an even more improbable feat unfolded just four years later. This book dives deep into the grit, determination, and sheer resilience of the 1973 team, a group defined not by dominance, but by defiance.

In The Forgotten Miracle ,Mark Rosenman explores the contrast between these two teams. The '69 Mets had everything going for them: the young brilliance of Tom Seaver and Jerry Koosman, a defense anchored by Bud Harrelson, and Gil Hodges' steady guidance. By 1973, however, injuries and age had reshaped the squad, and expectations were at an all-time low. They stumbled into the playoffs with only 82 wins—the lowest of any National League champion—yet they found a way to ignite the rallying cry, “Ya Gotta Believe,” and push toward an incredible, overlooked miracle of their own. This is the story of a team that, against all odds, redefined what belief in baseball really means.
