Description

Note: This book contains only BLACK-AND-WHITE photographs. It is an updated, non-color version of "An llustrated History of the Binghamton Mets." This updated edition includes a new chapter, "The End of an ERA," which captures the final season of the Binghamton Mets and introduces the franchise's 2017 moniker -- The Binghamton Rumble Ponies. Baseball returned to Binghamton in 1992 and the numbers speak for themselves. Since 1992 Binghamton has sent more than 260 players to the big leagues. No fewer than 16 members of the New York Mets who were active for the World Series in 2015 played for Binghamton. More than five million fans have come out to cheer for the hometown team since 1992 and, when you add up all the donations the franchise has helped raise for the community, the amount is well over $1 million! The stars performing on the diamond have totaled almost as many as the number you can count on a clear summer night. Going around the diamond, Brook Fordyce, Lucas Duda, Edgardo Alfonzo, Jose Reyes, David Wright, Michael Conforto, Jay Payton, and Preston Wilson all wore the Binghamton uniform before starring in the majors. The mound, meanwhile, has been even more crowded with stars. How about a pitching staff of Matt Harvey, Jake deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Steven Matz and Zack Wheeler? Before the Flushing Faithful had them, Binghamton did! From 1992 to 2016 the franchise was known as the Binghamton Mets. Starting with the 2017 season, the team became known as the Binghamton Rumple Ponies. The new moniker paid tribute to Binghamton's appellation as the "Carousel Capital of the World," while also becoming an emblem for family entertainment and fun. This book captures the 25-year history of the Binghamton Mets. Whether you are a Binghamton denizen, New York Met or Yankee fan, or just a plain old fan of baseball, you'll delight in turning these pages and reliving the orange and blue history of the Binghamton Mets.
