Remember the nice lady who sat behind home plate at Shea? She would roll her arms during every single pitch in an effort to make the game really enjoyable to watch at home. I’m sure you will join me in being happy she’s alive and well. Thanks to Maggie for sending this in and Continue reading The rolling arms lady from Shea Stadium Since Osh41 mentioned it this morning…go six minutes and forty seconds into this video and take a look at the Happy Days Softball Team at Shea. Â The video is grainy but is that a 16 on the back of the Mets player who is umpiring?
Randy from The Apple sent this over with this note: Picked this shirt up today at Kohls. Not a Mets shirt but you might recognize one of the NY landmarks pictured on it. Randy also cracked me up with this story on his site.
This morning I swapped out the impossible poll (if you’re reading this via email or google reader you’ll need to visit the main page metspolice.com) to let you decide if the Mets are done/fine/in big trouble. Closing out the previous poll – Shea Stadium was by far the most popular home of the Mets with 84% Continue reading Impossible Poll: Polo grounds slightly more popular than Mercury It’s a slow Friday and I’m reaching the ends of the internet. There’s a new viral site for Iron Man 2 which features the Stark Expo which is held in Flushing Meadows Park (or at least is in 2010 and 1974). It looks to me that Shea was retrofitted with Ebbett’s Field style arches replacing the outside, Continue reading Looks like Shea Stadium was renovated in Iron Man’s Universe I think I posted this once before, but it’s very cool and  a reader named Green Destiny mentioned it in the comments yesterday.  Keep your eyes peeled on 2:55, 3:00 and 3:06 and you’ll see the video screen in action!  (Make it full screen using standard youtube technology).
Yesterday in the comments we were discussing the Shea Stadium scoreboard in 1965, and those of us who weren’t around yet are fascinated by the “video screen” that was atop the scoreboard. Jesse sent this picture over, that’s a band called The Beatles who were quite popular in the 1960s. Â You may have heard of Continue reading Another picture of the Shea Stadium scoreboard in 1965 Some of us were chatting in the comments section about pre-renovated Shea. Â The great site Forgotten New York has the picture below: Check out a few things…the National League is listed on the left side. Â In later years it was on the right. Â I wonder why they flipped that? Â Even Mets Police 1970 wouldn’t have Continue reading Cool old photo of the Shea Stadium scoreboard in 1965 Ceetar who is a frequent contributor to the conversation here, and runs Optimistic Mets Fan, informs me that hot dog easting contests at Met ballparks are not new (one is coming up at Citi) and has the photos to prove it. More photos here and a cool one here.
An idea from Jesse: Hi here’s an idea to pass on to the site. You know the yankees have (has) that big bat in front of the stadium and many fans used as a meeting place. Mets should set up a eight foot wide outfield wall replica exactly where the 410 foot centerfield wall was at Continue reading Meet at the 410? Another amazing achievement for Afterlife Shea Stadium! Â First the BCS Champions, then the Puppy Bowl, then Bryant Gumbel and now this! Â Thanks Alex. How about those new yellow seats? Â Afterlife Shea already has more history than new Fake Yankee Stadium.
Shea is having a good few days here at Mets Police. There’s nothing really Policey about this, but I though I’d share this blog link, with some cool Shea stories and I just really like this photo. Â Look at young Shea, it looked better before the blue and the neon – yes I realize I just Continue reading Shea Stadium looked better with the squares |
     Loading ...In episode 6: would you trade Wright? Reyes? Santana? Phil Mushnick takes a shot at Piazza, and Chris tells us about the Billy Joel screening.
