Baseball Altamont

Granted I haven't hung around the 'Pool with any regularity for quite some time so I don't know if you guys have discussed this or not.

I was just made aware of it and although the vast majority of you are far more over-the-top in your Metsness than I, there aren't that many things Mets-related that come up that I don't at least have a general knowledge of.

In any case, this is a cool story and a cool song. If it's been discussed my sincere apologies, if not, enjoy.

Stop apologizing for being such a lame fan. I don't think I ever heard this before!

It's a Shea Stadium "White Riot."

Not apologizing for being a lame Mets fan. Apologizing for being a lame CPF-er.

I thought this was going to be about someone getting stabbed on the field.

Is there more to the Keith Falls Asleep story?

I found a Yo La Tengo cover, but couldn't find the original.

It's there in a poorly covered link in the post Soupy links to, right before the lyrics.
