Read: Reporters do not like Shea
In an editorial for the Journal News in Ohio, Hal McCoy leads by writing:
“There is a reason Shea Stadium’s mailing address is Flushing, N.Y. The place smells like a cesspool and, in fact, it is shaped like a toilet bowl.”
…actually, hal, it’s shaped like a toilet seat…not a bowl…
…if you’re going to be critical, get it right…
…also, Shea Stadium does not smell like a cesspool…instead, it smells of a unique combination of grilled sausage, jet fuel and day-old beer…which, oddly enough, no longer bothers me…
…hat tip to Baseballer for the link…
