Okurowski and several other die-hard fans are organizing a final farewell at Shea at noon Saturday to share stories and take photographs of what is left of the ballpark.


Anyone going? (bring a camera)

I'm guessing that the picture has something to do with the Statue Liberty finale in Planet of.... But that picture never came up on my browser. Not today. Not yesterday.

Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Even though the pain and heartache
Seems to follow me wherever I go
Though I try and try to hide my feelings
They always seem to show
Then you try to say you're leaving me
And I always have to say no...

Tell me why
Is it so

That I ... Never can say goodbye
No no no no, I
Never can say goodbye

Evertime I think I had enough
I start heading for the door
There's a very strange vibration
That pierces me right to the core
It says turn around you fool
You know you love her more and more

Tell me why
Is it so
Don't wanna let yo go
I never can say goodbye

I called KB over and asked if she wanted to see an eerie picture on my
laptop and she saw this and started bawling. "That's all that's left? When
was that picture taken?"

"Uh, I guess last time it snowed." ... (I'm obnoxious in real life too) and I
told her this is like a 25 page thread of the destruction of Shea and we started
talking about our Moms and games and tailgates and she got me all throaty
too and crying and screw you all but ok I admit that it's hard to see the old
thing disappear and I've been suppressing the sadness.

There, I said it.

My wife, who worked downtown throughout the fall of 2001, invoked Ground Zero in terms of what it reminded her of looking at.

I'm at LaGuardia waiting for a flight. Drove past Citi and Shea. Shea looks so sad and insignificant. I'm excited and wistful at the same time.

It's fitting that that's the last piece left...

Think of it as an image of Koosman throwing the final pitch of the '69 WS.
It could be Orosco/'86 too but it looks more like Koosman.

Nice pic, Irish.

Poor, little Shea getting swallowed up by Citi on both sides.

We took a ride out there today. We packed up a camera, a couple of Heineken
keg cans (KB drove) and set out. I was kind of emotional getting ready but by
the time we were in the car and on our way I was kinda excited. There were a
bunch of people milling about doing the same thing we were and while I didn't
talk to anyone we all smiled and nodded to each other like we got it. What we
really should have done was cooked a few hot dogs one more time but the beer
was enough I guess to count as a tailgate of sorts.

The pictures posted all over the internet get redundant after awhile I suppose,
but I got a few unique images.

Thanks, sir. Beautiful and gut-wrenching.

(All in all, this offseason's been like a months-long wake... except one where the guests take parts of the deceased with them as souvenirs.)

Great shots, man. Love the one of you raising your can of Heiny in salutation.

Whoa, crazy, KC. I was there today too and took some very similar pictures. I was the jackass with my little brown dog off the leash. He was very happy to be out running about like that.

Should have a concert out there.

holyc: I was the jackass with my little brown dog off the leash <<<

I didn't see any little brown pups running about. It's funny, but I really thought
I'd run into at least one Mets' fan I knew out there. Running into you woulda been
cool and we coulda done a Heiny.







holychicken
Feb 15 2009 07:42 PM


Yeah, I figured there would be no one there but the when I saw the number of people there I figured I would see someone I knew. I checked everyone saw there, but didn't recognize anyone as well. I figured my dog would have stuck out tho more than me :)

Cool pics, thanks for sharing them.

Did you pour some of that Heiny on the ground, ghetto style, to remember Shea, your fallen friend?

I have to confess that I did deposit some used Heiny behind
some construction materials.

I'm going to guess you haven't puked at Shea since October 12, 1982.

That's the Desert Storm logo/thing they added to sets of cards for the troops overseas back in the day.
