On a side note, will Mets fans miss Shea stadium?
As Lou said, lotsa memories for me too.
The first really big game that I recall going to was an early 10th birthday gift from my Dad. I was born on October 25th, 1959. So when the Mets made it to the World Series in '69, I was as gleeful as a ten year old baseball fan could be.
Anyway, the series fell a week or so prior to my birthday, but my Dad wangled tickets to game 3 at Shea. It was awesome; the Mets won 5-0. Gary Gentry (who?) got the win over Jim Palmer's Orioles. Tommy Agee and the Bronx's own Eddie Kranepool hit home runs. A youngster named Nolan Ryan got the save. And a ten year old Pizzaboy had one of the great days of his childhood, spent with his Dad.
