Shea Treated to a Fond Farewell

Special thanx to Long Island Met Fan's for this photostream. see the rest of pics taken today at Shea

The powerful combination of Baseball fever and Dave of NY Sports Dog, did a great job getting the word out of an informal farewell at Shea yesterday afternoon. The NY Times then linked to NY Sports Dog's blog and added fuel to this historic gathering.

The chill in the air at Shea was no match for the warm feelings in the hearts of nearly 200 New York Met fans. Channel 2 News was present reporting on the festivities. The NY Met fan's were in full throat belting out the familiar Met theme song, Meet the Mets. In addition, the Mets 1972 NL Rookie of the Year, three time All-Star and 1975 MLB All-Star game MVP, Jon Matlack was present an accounted for.
