Excellent. I know I've seen a still pic at least of the 4 guys leaping on the field before.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's really cool.



Was it a night game?

[G-Fafif]

It was a night game.



The leaping Mets is from the PG.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Huh! Somehow I always assumed it was a day game.

[G-Fafif]

The Original Opener was scheduled for the day (night, too, I think) before but was rained out, so this was just the second date of the year.

I would've never guessed they'd open the season with a night game in 1962. Thanks for the explainer.
