The idea that Sweet Caroline might be gone forever is exciting – “Sweet Caroline Not Dead Yet?“:
I was as the game last night, and I was pleased that my sectionmates (in Left Field Landing,) all sang along to Meet The Mets, even though I don’t think we could see the words.
The song should be played every game, and a new generation of fans should learn the song too…
I read the comment about it being played at the beginning of the game–not a bad idea. Maybe the end of the game too, as I CAN NOT STAND the cliched song, Taking Care of Business, over and over and over…
My 8th inning song–Helter Skelter, crowd would love it. Kidding.
DyHrdMET has left a new comment on your post “Wallace Matthews On New York Mets and Yankees Atte…“:
Do you think that Wilpon & son and the Steinbrenner brothers heard voices in their head saying “If you build it, they will come”?
None of this is a shock to me. It’s almost like the recipe for a perfect storm – stadiums that were built to cater to the rich more than the hardcore (if you ever went on the Citi Field experience tour at Shea last year, you know) with ridiculously higher prices (put aside sight lines and such), people becoming more tired of ordering and processing ticket fees, and the fact that this isn’t the roaring 20s (far from it, but I don’t think the current economy is a complete factor aside from the missing corporate types). for the football stadium, the price structure is calculated a bit differently with PSLs, but it’s the same idea.
I’d love to see a Subway Series just to see whether either stadium fills up at World Series prices.
Finally, Centerfield Maz let us know what jersey he was wearing when he caught the foul ball:
Thanks for the kind words. My goal is to keep the Mets & NY Giants history alive. Let’s remember all the great moments there were.
As for the jersey I am wearing, it’s an official 1969 Tom Seaver, grey Mets road replica. It’s made of flannel so its hot and I can only wear it seasonally.
