Synopsis

A Love Letter To New York Mets Fandom—the triumphs, the heartbreak, and everything in between.

Childhood for Evan Roberts was defined by outings to the old Shea Stadium with his father, always with a scorebook in hand. What began as a gameday ritual replete with misspelled player names and scrawled symbols turned into an obsession with scoring every game he watched, one which persisted as Roberts rose through the ranks at WFAN. Taken together, those scorebooks form a living, breathing Mets diary spanning 30 years of thrilling—and, at times, tortured—fandom.

My Mets Bible is an exercise in memory and nostalgia, and a meditation on the things that stick with us as sports fans. With his personal scorecards as a guide, Roberts brings to life some of the most unforgettable moments in Mets lore, offering a fresh perspective on the highs and lows of being a die-hard fan.

Meticulously kept history mixes with personal recollections and behind-thescenes anecdotes covering touchstone events such as Johan Santana’s no-hitter, Robin Ventura’s grand slam “single,” and the loss that Roberts has never quite gotten over. By turns heartfelt and hilarious, Roberts delivers a thrilling and unique journey through modern Mets history.

I can commiserate with author and WFAN radio personality Evan Roberts. About 20 years prior to the beginning of his run scoring Mets baseball, I was pretty much the same. I’d gone to the sporting department of our local TSS Department Store and bought books used to score baseball games. Unfortunatel......more

4.25 Famed WFAN host and fanatical Mets fan, Evan Roberts, has been scoring Mets hames since he was a young kid- his former co-host Craig Carton told him he should write a book using those scorecards as the basis for telling his story. A truly great and clever idea! What a fun (though at times depre......more

Goodreads review by Michael on March 06, 2025

A very good trip down memory lane from the 90's up until the disappointing end of the Mets 2022 season. This is a must read for any Mets fan and it will probably only appeal to those of us who stay true to the orange and blue. LFGM!......more

This is a great record of one man's score recording of the New York Mets. With personal anecdotes and tales related to the specific games that were scored, the author tells the history of the franchise.......more
