  1. I’m sure all 10,000 good affordable seats have been sold out. I won’t be in either category on Sunday. And that may be part of the problem.

    Always nice to get a plug for your blog and your name mentioned in the Times.

    1. they haven’t, and I think it’s closer to 15k affordable, but either way, they’re not sold out as of two hours ago when i finalized my post on the subject for tomorrow.

  2. Congrats on the plug Shannon, and although I disagree with your point, I do commend you for your efforts.

  3. Dave Howard just sent this Press Release out,

    Since it looks like I was right about the Mets Fans not caring about things like Old Timers and Banner Days(non sellout to HOF game proves my point), I am also right that there are no obstructed views at Citi Field. Plexi Glass. Its glass you can look through it.
    So Mr. Shark of METSPOLICE still want to sit next to me at a game? I have a nice black jersey with your name on it.

  4. Just left the advance ticket window @ Citi. Spent over $2K on tickets and did not buy tix for Sunday. I don’t want to get all melodramatic but as a 15 year old kid in 1986 I LOVED that Mets team. As a 13 year old in 1984 I REALLY loved Gooden. His troubles following the 88 season (well they started well before then but I didn’t know about them till around 89 or later) were quite a blow. It might sound ridiculous but I think Gooden’s human failures were as big a blow to me as my parent’s divorce, maybe not but it sure felt that way. For that reason, and some others I’m choosing not to attend Gooden’s induction.

    I was thinking I would go and try to just remember the thrill of 86 but I can’t separate the two. Enjoy the game. hope it’s sold out. When there’s a 2000 celebration, I’ll be there.
