Im just happy they are going to have the bases and mound out there….I know right where Im parking this season!

You can find me sliding into home and tearing my jeans, double-fisting and not spilling a drop.

LOL – that’s why I said Commissioner’s Trophy and not the W and S words.

“Mets COO Jeff Wilpon says the pitchers mound and the bases, including home plate, will be ‘immortalized in the parking lot.’”

I can just see Ollie on his first home pitching a$$ignment standing on the Shea pitcher’s mound and asking out loud what happened to the ballpark.

Some last thoughts:
1. I hope someone would have taken photos/Video of the last piece hitting the ground
2. Im glad that the bases/ Mound etc will be marked on the parking lot. I asked months ago for it. Many stadiums have that in ther lot.
3. Statues of Seaver, Piazza need to be put up ala Pittsburgh, Philly and other plavces
4. We need a Rusty’s BBQ pit ala Boogs Balt near the stadium walkway

Shea no more….

And kowalski69: If I’m still alive in 45-50 years I’ll consider that an accomplishment and will welcome any feelings I have about Citi coming down….

Signed: someone who was around when Shea opened in 1964….

I don’t really know what to say or feel. I’m usually pretty even keel on the street at home or at work. I usually dont get too high or too low. At Shea, I experienced some of the strongest feelings in my life. Jumping up and down and screaming until i didn’t have a voice — and completely breaking down with my head in my hat.

I’m sure that i’ll enjoy Citi next year and ill have some fun there. Truth is, I fit perfectly fine into my seat at Shea and it doesn’t make much difference when I watch the game I guess. I went to Shea yesterday and took some pictures of the last remaining stump and there was a lot of people out there doing the same.

I wonder if in 45-50 years we’ll care as much when Citi gets destroyed?
