Last Night On ESPN-It Was A Shut-Out And A Rememberance Of 45 Seasons
There's a Piece of NYC which will be torn down in November, '08. It's located in Queens and was a Part of the 1964 Worlds' Fair. It has played host to Pope John Paul II, The Beatles(Twice), 4 World Series, the 1968 A F L Championship Game, The Curly Shuffle and home, in 1975, of Mets, DFYankees, NY Jets and NY Giants. The NY Cosmos even played 1 N A S L Playoff Game, where the Great Pele', scored. "The Rivalry" actually came to life in this place:
Note-it's NOT Yankee Stadium II;
Last Night at Shea Stadium, there were Retrospective Moments on E S P N on "Sunday Night Baseball", in regards to Shea Stadium, both the 1st and Last of the Multipurpose Stadiums. This Being All Star Week, it was time to look at this place, which is older than the 33 Season Ballpark in The Bronx;
You see, Shea Stadium has been in continuous use, whereas Yankee Stadium has not been in Continuous use. The Outer Shell of Yankee Stadium, is what remains of the original edifice, as a completely different structure is in The Bronx, so it's NOT the Original Article. DFYankees don't like to tell you that;
The Mets won 7-0, last evening, over the Defending N L Champion CO Rockies, who played this weekend like they were full of CO2. Carlos Beltran launched a 3 Run Homer over the Picnic Area and may have hit Citi Field in the process. Carlos Delgado also homered, a 2 Run Dinger. Mike Pelfrey, his pitching having dramatically improved since Rick Peterson was unceremoniously dropped at 3 AM from a Shea Stadium Upper Level Ramp, went 8 Innings, giving up 6 hits;
And Shea is no "Cathedral". No One named Hankenbrenner, runs that place;
Later!
