METS

Our last ballpark heading East...Shea stadium!
A small and dying park, just biding its time until it can be replaced with a newer model, she is dirty and her seats are breaking. The organ sounds like the one from the Adams Family, and she is the new winner for dirtiest park.

But she must have been wonderful in her hey-day!

I think we have more seats behind home plate at our little league diamond at home!

The decks have very few rows, but very steep, creating a feeling of being is a very intimate ballpark. And the first level is an actual bowl shape, with the back seats of the first level being nearly even with the front row of the second. You must have a terrific view from those!

And here is Son of Shea, right next door!

See it? Jack spotted it right behind the left-field wall!

Just 39 more games until the big move!

So....

We're walking around the park, just taking in the sights, when this nice lady stops us. "Excuse me," she says, "But weren't you at the Yankees game yesterday? You was wearin' green then."

By gum, she was right! But how did she know? She sells consessions at both stadiums! (We all hope our memory is as good in our advancing years!) And she is expecting to be at Fanfest tomorrow. We'll have to make a point of looking for her.

We also met a very friendly and talkative security guard and a nice Fan Services lady who gave the kids -final season at Shea Stadium- pins.

Our kids are pros at this by now! Robert got autographs of Giant's pitchers #37 Jack Tascher and #18 Matt Cain.

Fun and games are always at hand on the Belove's Amazing Baseball Adventure.

Yes, we got to see the Big Apple in The Big Apple. How great is that?

Oh, and the Mets have the best Porto-Potties we have EVER been in!
