    I should've guessed first, but I wasn't sure.

I missed a couple of weeks of first grade but back then no one had conniptions about "learning loss." The first Mets game I remember attending was in June 1980 (The Steve Henderson Game) and we sat in the orange field level seats. Were those installed/repainted in the 79-80 offseason? They replaced the original wooden seats with plastic seats sometime around 1981. I have, in my basement, a couple of fragments of the original wooden seats. There was a big pile of them, free for the taking, against a wall just inside one of the gates. My friends and I each gathered a few pieces on our way out of the stadium one day. I guess my memory of orange seats was a false one then.

    This game also took place less than a month before John Paul hit a dramatic walk off and the fans charged the field to celebrate. https://www.ctvnews.ca/polopoly_fs/1.1333154.1371728441!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_620/image.jpg>

    I love the way Seaver and Doc just jump up from the bottom.

    Good thing that #LOLCubs isn't a thing or it would be all over this story.

    "Jock" was derived from the garment they wore, the "jockstrap." The "jockstrap" (and "jockey") got their origins in the Scottish nickname "Jock" that was the equivalent to the English nickname "Jack," and colloquially "Jock" was used to refer to ordinary man (the way some people might use "dude").

    Someone with photoshop skills needs to put the Christie on the beach image into otherwise empty terrace seating by Shea Bridge.

    Only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Major_League_Baseball_players_from_the_Bahamas7 Bahamians have appeared in MLB, not counting the Baha Men performing before the Mets 2000 postseason games.

    Any team can use a designated hitter by only on games that begin on odd-numbered days. On even-numbered days, pitchers hit. I'm about 90% serious about this.
  20. Willets Point
    The minor leagues would be a good place for batters to experiment with hitting against the shift.

    REVERT TO THE KNICKERBOCKER RULES!!! (I kid)

    Yep. That was the point I was trying to make. The Mets were clearly the better team but somehow the Yankees made it look like a romp anyhow. It was so disheartening.

    I remember getting the Strat-O-Matic board game and recreating the 2000 World Series. I used the exact same lineups, pitchers, and substitutions as the actual games. The Mets won the series 4 games to 1. In fact they Strat-O Mets won all the games the real Mets lost and they lost the game they won. I never played Strat-O-Matic again.
