Bill Shea!

Without him we would not have even have a team to watch other than the Yankees.

Perhaps a statue of him standing in front of a sculpture of the old Shea Stadium should be the first one we get!

As shocking as this may be to you, many Mets fans like DWright and think he’s pretty damn good, oh yeah, so do his peers on and off the NY Mets.

Hodges, Seaver, maybe not a statue but something for Mrs. Payson. Perhaps make a statue of Tom Terrific then change the Seaver entrance to Mrs. Payson and photos of her.

I do have a pic of myself and cousins in front of Stan Musial at Busch Stadium from last year.

Every team hated us when he was managing us. He never had anything good to say about a division rival and he wasn’t afraid to give the press what they wanted to hear. Over time his players start playing off of it. In 1985-1989 we called it swagger, but it was actually the team responding to their manager. Unlike most managers today, Johnson was a leader. Sure the Mets had Carter and Mex, but that was Davey’s team and he ruled the roost. Now that he does that against us it hurts a little and it sucks, but that’s just Davey being Davey.

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 03:32:01 +0000 http://metsmerizedonline.com/?p=97515#comment-287110 It appears the awarding of the first statue will be based more on the generation, with us older guys leaning toward Casey or Gil and those a bit younger with Davey or Piazza, etc.

Wasn’t that what Gary Cohen and Howie Rose alluded to when Davey was chosen as the Mets all time manager over Gil Hodges? They seemed a bit surprised at the result.

There is one that has not been mentioned – what about a statue of Mr. Met himself?

Really? What does he care about the Mets at this point and why did he get so much satisfaction seeing us eliminated. Not like we’ve exactly been rivals with the Nats.

I’d just assume the WS winner not come from the NL east if it’s not the Mets. And that’s every year, not just this one. Looking at what teams are likely headed to post season, this will probably be a year I’ll be rooting for an AL team to win it all, providing it’s not the Yankees. :-)

I like the idea of a Mike Piazza post-9/11 statue, and you can’t go wrong with Seaver, but, for me, nothing screams New York Mets like Orosco/Carter. Plus, it would look great as a statue. http://media.silive.com/mets_impact/photo/9601473-large.jpg

Though your a div rival congrats on winning the NL East. If it could not be the Mets I can say I am fine that it was you and your squad instead. But take it easy on dissing my team OK?

Do you know you are going to cause many with fonds memories of Shea to shed a tear with that video?

It’s because we’ve seen so many from the outside, from the actual seats, etc., but this is the first at least home video I’ve seen from the interior under the stands as viewed by on a typical day.

BTW – with that dollar, I accept all major credit cards!

Than I go and read 15 comments about sight lines and escalators. What’s a blogger to do? ;-)
