Of course the ballpark in question is Shea Stadium and the year is 1965
This is from the New York Journal-American, September 16, 1965.
Note that the article references Ralph Kiner’s TV show.
What Mets fans talk about when not talking about the actual games.
I was checking in on my tickets and was surprised I only have 4 games left of my 15er. You may winder how that is possible.
Well…
1. I like to front-load. I get hopped up in April and May to be outside. By august I am counting the seconds of sunshine left so I tend to sit on Better Than Wright’s Deck as much as possible.
2. Once September comes Junior has soccer on Saturdays.
3. LOTS of travel for me this year in July and August.
So I have July 4 and 7 and then just two more. In 9 days I will have just two games left.
That’s kind of sad since I am enjoying this season tremendously but it’s not like Mets tickets are hard to come by. A few midweek specials, bum a ticket from @mediagoon, maybe even the Mets will have the bloggers over for dinner agin. Not all is lost..
Anyways, kind of surprising seeing how it’s June 29th.
