The inspiration for this project is a combination of my love of baseball and the in-progress romance novel I’ve been working on for the past few years, tentatively titled Hitting for the Cycle. As I worked on my archive project, I found that my love for baseball goes beyond me. It includes my family and this love that has been passed on from generation to generation. Accompanying each item is a background story of how and when the object was acquired or the events that go along with the object, as well as a bit of the Mets’ history through this specific viewpoint.
