19...2 April games that I remember, both day games.<br /><br />1962, Polo Grounds (either I played hooky or it was Easter Vacation): 11 innings, Mets tied it in the bottom of the 9th (Gus Bell HR) lost it in the 11th to the Colt 45's.<br /><br />1965, don't remember opponent or outcome, but do remember a triple play: Johnny Lewis-to-Cannizaro-to McMillian.<br /><br />None since, LOL.<br /><br />Hobiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161607087964191500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-77989361233740316982017-04-27T12:30:30.160-04:002017-04-27T12:30:30.160-04:00I still miss the smell of the urine in the elevato...I still miss the smell of the urine in the elevators...Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-58290220643717876252017-04-27T10:27:01.828-04:002017-04-27T10:27:01.828-04:00I went to one April game ever, because I hate sitt...I went to one April game ever, because I hate sitting in the cold (and certainly, Latin ballplayers have to hate playing night games in April).<br /><br />My April visit was a doubleheader in the 1960's, when the Braves had Aaron, Rico Carty and other boppers. The Mets lost two, but both teams scored a lot, so it was fun - but cold.<br /><br />Most of my Shea games in the 1960s were with tickets bought by Bordens milk coupons. My parents had 8 kids so we got a lot of milk coupons FAST. Good times from dizzying heights. Agee hitting one into the upper deck was a titanic feat.<br /><br />You miss Shea Stadium - I miss a winning Mets team.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.com
