Dana Brand’s Mets Fan Blog

    

I’ve found out from my fellow bloggers that today is the 43rd birthday of Shea stadium.  I’m going to cry.  I’ve learned that someone who calls himself Kingman (now there’s a Mets fan for you!) has set up a new site that is devoted to Shea love, which has to be one of the most obscure and powerful of human emotions.  Please check out www.loge13.com/ an informative and well-written site devoted to helping us through what will be a long, bitter, sad, and sweet deathwatch for this place that will always be with us. 

If you haven’t already read it, please check out my own tribute to Shea on my book’s website:

Shea lovers might also enjoy these other pieces of mine.  Each is filled with love for the old place and suspicion and at times downright hostility for the new one:
