I pulled some random Mets stuff out of the attic. Mostly magazines and ticket stubs and such.
Here’s a stub from 2002. 713B was just to the first base side of home plate. Box B, seat 8 means we were technically the 4th row from the front. There was probably an annoying red bar in our line of sight as well. I don’t remember much of the game, but I went to retrosheet.org and learned that the Mets lost 9-8. Rollins was 2/5 with a walk, that bum. Jeff D’Amico took the loss to fall to 4-8.
Here’s an interview with David Weathers that was printed in Volume 42, Issue 3 of Mets Magazine in 2003. Brilliant stuff, like how he came to wear the number 35! (Marcel Lachemann had 53) I always kind of liked Weathers; I tend to like players who have names that are also things, like Weathers, Cook, or Strawberry. I like how they show Weathers in both a black uniform, and a pinstriped one with a blue cap. Appeal to the Shannon Shark‘s of the world, and “Generation Piazza”.
