NJTank Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 What was the much maligned slogan that the Mets put on top of Shea Stadium in the early 80s?

njmeadowlanders Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 That was there, but even earlier in the 80's, which I think is what he's looking for, was "The Magic Is Here. Come See It!"Then again, that wouldn't work with "maligned" so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Observe:However, "Baseball Like It Ought To Be!" WAS on Shea when it was in use, so methinks that would be the answer, even though it wasn't really the early 80's...This picture I found you can see part of it up there...Of course neither was as bad as this which I snagged in June of last season: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 The answer is "The Magic is Back" but the sign did say "The Magic is Here Come See it"So I will give both credit here. Tallynjmeadowlanders-9nohojoe-7edwardgr-2gregjigga5-2Island_Style-2Korbyn-2Brass97-1Lets Go Red -1tp49-1ZoneRanger-1Total Stumps-2They key for the answer was maligned slogan by the Mets in the 1980's. The year they had the Magic is Back and the Magic is Here come See it the Mets were still losing 90+, and fans were joking the The Tragic is Back.The year they used Baseball Like it Oughta Be was 1986 and it seemed to fit, and was not maligned. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
