Shea: My Number 2 Favorite Moment at Shea
Last Wednesday, I started making posts about my Five Favorite Moments at Shea Stadium, from games that I attended.
In addition, each post will be followed by a quick video segment of me talking about the specific moment.
I hope you enjoy them, and feel free to share your favorite memories in each post as well.

On October 18, 2006, John Maine picked up the baseball to start Game 6 of the NLCS against the Cardinals in Shea Stadium, while I was sitting in Section 30 of the Upper Deck.
The thing that stands out to me, and what made this game so special for me, was how unified, pumped up and persistent the fans were during all nine innings. It was relentless positivity and support, especially in the several moments when St. Louis threatened with men on base.
Yes, there are other player-achievements that are probably more worthy of greatness, but, as a fan, Game 6 of the NLCS was one our best moments, which is why it’s among my favorites.
