Summary:
Describes how the New York Mets hired a former Marine and Vietnam vet, who had completely revolutionized the Oakland A's and guided them to a World Series win, to resuscitate their suffering franchise in 2010. His renewal of the Mets despite a limited budget, through big trades that brought back high-profile prospects to the development of young aces including Matt Harvey, Zach Wheeler, and Jacob deGrom, are profiled in this behind-the-scenes look at a Major League team and an exploration of intelligent decision-making in management.
