NEW.ERA Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I may not be a Mets fan but I would love to get a piece of that Pitcher Statue that's on the Stadium wall it always made Shea more recognizable to me.

There aren't many things cooler than watching stadiums get blown up. I was fortunate enough to get a spot on the roof of a hotel to watch the Vet get imploded. Twas a sad day, but an amazing site.
