With all the talk of this being the last year for Yankee Stadium one does not hear that this is also the last year of Shea Stadium. The highlight of our trip to NY was taking in two games at Shea AND getting to see the Mets play the Phillie's AND seeing our friend Jamie Moyer pitch.
We had great seats (thanks to Jamie) and we saw two good games, with the exception that the Phillie's lost them both.
This is the last year for Shea and they were selling Budweiser Beer bottles with a tribute to Shea. Shea Stadium opened in 1964 and closes this year. I am one of the rare people (perhaps the only person) who attended a game in 1964 and a game in 2008. I just may be the only person that had that big of a gap in attendance.
And of course what fan can resist a foot long Nathan dog covered with rancid cheese and onion!
