last opening day at shea stadium...1964-2008

today we left work early to head to shea stadium for the last opening day at shea...
the tall stately building in the backdrop of shea is the new mets' stadium, citi field...coming 2009

here are our 2008 new york mets...
thus is thrown the final first pitch at shea!
another nice view from our seats behind home plate, mezzanine level, of shea and citi...
two mets fans grin and bear the eventual loss against the phillies...
craig stands with citi field behind him, proud as can be!

in the distance is the 7 train which runs parallel with roosevelt ave in queens and which carries the faithful fans to and from the games...
the mets lose their home opener, and fans head to the manhattan-bound 7...

and we couldn't believe our eyes, the crowds! hey, these people love their mets, win or lose!
