Did The New York Mets Retired Numbers At Shea Have The Drop Shading?

Last night on SNY they showed a closeup of the 41 on the fence. It has the horrible black drop-shading.

Did the numbers at Shea have that? I know they didn’t originally (obviously).

I also enjoyed when SNY showed a Bob Murphy voiced clip of Rusty Staub shuttling between LF and RF – come on guys, you have the tapes – how about making my How I Met The Mets series?

At worst I’d like to see the old rain delay films, especially during a rain delay. I’d rather see that than Chris Carlin telling me about the game I was just watching, or drinking beer in Times Square or whatever that filler show they have is called. Just show old films.
