Another look back at the 1983 Mets. Who wants to go to Opening Day?
Five bucks. I pasted $5 into this Inflation Calculator and found that $5 in 1983 dollars was like $11.53 in 2012 dollars. Someone should share this information with the Mets.
Look who came back to Shea!
and the promotion calendar looks fun! Banner Day was a Sunday double-header. I had that bag on the left and probably still do somewhere.

I had the duffle bag on the right. I was at that game on Aug 13th 1983. It was my 1st game at Shea. Mets won and Seaver pitched. I sat in LF. I have the ticket stub somewhere.
AS far as the bag. I used it all the time. I think the sponsor was Khans… An ex girlfriend swiped it from me with some Met shirts back in 1992….
Dave.
Wow you remember the date or looked it up. Pretty cool.
Never give your girlfriend anything.
I had the bag on the right used it for many years
I also had that bag. One of the best Mets promotional pieces, evah! Built well, strong and tough. Much like the Mets 3 years later. And yes, the sponsor was Kahn’s Hot Dogs. Saw one bag on a street person in Manhattan not long ago. The bag was faded and dirty, but it was there.
wow thats incredible that one of those bags is still around.
Awesome shot.
