Chris was at the Last Play at Shea screening at Citi Field the other night and told us on the podcast that the crowd was quite large.
Here’s a video shot from the seats that will give you a scope of the amount of people that showed up at Citi.
And in an email MetsMom says:
It was great. The coolest thing was at the beginning of the movie, Billy Joel played the national anthem and everyone @ Citifield stood up and sang with him. They did a nice job interweaving Joel’s history with the history of the Mets and Shea. They showed Pete Flynn driving the Beatles thru Shea to the stage, and then driving Sir Paul to the stage to join Joel for the Last Play concert. Â They did a nice job with the beginning of the Mets and Shea. Dana Brand was as eloquent as always about the early days of the Mets. Gary, Keith and Ron were great, but it felt like something was missing without Howie Rose. And I don’t care how many times I see it, there is nothing like watching the ball go thru Buckner’s legs – especially when you’re watching it on Citivision.
