A photographic tale of two games (mostly the win)

I went to the Saturday and Sunday games with my mother who is as big a Mets' fan as I. Nationals Park is great, $200 on stubhub for seats third row, section B, right behind the plate. It's great being that close, plus it includes a pre game buffett, and then all you can eat and drink in seat service. Saw Ray Knight waiting for the elevator Sunday, said, "hey Ray Knight, still got love for ya even if you are working for the enemy."  He is much taller in person than I expected.  Saw Howie Rose on Saturday and he looks thinner than I expected. My mother saw Wayne Hagen but I missed him. 

On Saturday with the game sucking I gave Brian Runge a few loud heckles including a "Runge you suck" after Maine blew up and I could discern through Atbat that he had been squeezing him.   Anyone else remember this: ?  He obviously has some problem with the Mets. 

Feel free to take and use these pics as you will, just credit them to me and dont' try and make money off them. If you want larger files lmk. 

Here is where i sat, great seats, within earshot of the plate


 

Maine during the first inning Saturday, all downhill from here


 

Church talking to some lady before the Sunday game(pretty sure it's Church); I like the I LUV NY shirt. 

Keith in the booth two hours before the game. 

 

National Anthem, "Jerry, why you looking at me?  hmm, I do have a short swing!"

Livan looking hungry

Livan was the only player to talk to the fans during the game, everyone else kept their back to us. Yeah Livan

 

The next few speak for themselves,

 


 

 

Getting ready to lead off

 

Beltan's single in the 8th

 

 


PIITB,

Yeah right, there's no issues with Church and Manuel! Just wish I could see whether they are shaking hands because Manuel sure looks like he's leaning away from Ryan. That's gangsta!

Notice how everyone follows Beltran, He is The Man.

Wow, these are awesome

Great job. I especially love the one with Wright blowing a bubble, and the one with Frankie and Schneider after the final out.

Really, Jerry?

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).
i saw this on the marlins statue/abomination story. gif in the comments
