Art Shamksy was the slugging right fielder who batted .300 for the 1969 NY Mets World Championship team. Forever known as The Miracle Mets, the 1969 team is arguably the most famous sports team in history. After 7 years as perennial losers, the Mets shocked the world and beat the Hank Aaron led Atlanta Braves to win the NL East Pennant & then went on to beat the Hall of Famers Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson & Jim Palmer led overwhelming favorite Baltimore Orioles 4 games to 1 to win the Series. In this exclusive interview, we discuss Art's fascinating book After The Miracle, which takes us through the highlights of the Miracle 1969 season as well as the trip arranged with other teammates to fly & visit the ailing Tom Seaver at his home. Art discusses: Who was the toughest pitcher he ever faced? -- Being a teammate of Pete Rose -- Who was the greatest ballplayer he played against? -- What the Mets did differently that helped turn them from perennial losers to the darlings of baseball history -- Who are the three other teammates that went with Art to visit Tom Seaver. This is one of the greatest sports stories you will ever hear!
