When Shea Was Home: The Story of the 1975 Mets, Yankees, Giants, and Jets

Four teams, 175 games, 3,738,546 fansÂ—one stadium. If 1975 wasnâ€™t the most successful year in New York sportsÂ—and it wasnâ€™tÂ—then it was certainly one of the oddest. For that one crazy season, all four New York teamsÂ—the Mets, Jets, Yankees, and GiantsÂ—called Shea Stadium home.

When Shea was Home includes interviews with the stadiumâ€™s former head groundskeeper, the legendary Pete Flynn, as well as Jerry Koosman, Bud Harrelson and Ed Kranepool of the Mets, Giants owner John Mara, Rich Caster of the Jets, former Super Bowl MVP quarterback Doug Williams, who played that year at Shea for Grambling, and many more!

This well-written narrative includes information about the stadium, the teams, the players, how the teams coexisted, and how they didn't. When Shea was Home takes New York sports fans on a unique trip down memory lane, offering context on the national and local history and culture of the time. It is perfect for the avid New York sports aficionadoÂ—regardless of team allegiance!
