ANOTHER MEMORY FROM GOTHAM

Who'd have thunk I'd like Shea? I mean the field of lenny dykstra, wally backman, keith hernandez, dwight gooden. And my all-time despised one- - hojo.

But I did. We rode the subway out to Flushing and bought tickets right there from a scalper. He told us they were Row 1, but they weren't. Maybe row 8, box seats. Ushers were awesome. For some reason one of them kept coming up to me telling who the celebs were that day and where they were sitting. Madame Chang Kai Chek or her daughter were nearest to us. I didn't care much, but he was excited and so I acted that way, too, so he'd point out Jerry Seinfeld or somebody really important. We talked to some members of the Les Miserables cast, the show we had seen the night prior, but they were not all that impressed that we had seen them that last night on Broadway.

The ballpark was very pretty on this bright sunny day. The big apple didn't go o ff because there were no Met homers this day, but it was kinda cool. The grass lush, the scoreboard, and sight lines and views were very nice. Close proximity to the field. It was good.

They had some barbed wire/chicken mesh screening that was set up behind the entrance to the best seats, and that was distracting. Even in New York. But everything was good. So when you're in the city, don't overlook Shea. It's not Yankee Stadium, but it's a B.
