Just Another Memory Before Shea Stadium Fades To Black

It was Labor Day, in September, 1976, and The Mets were scheduled to play the Pittsburgh Pirates:

Mr Tom Seaver Pitched. In that Game, Tom Seaver struck out his 200th Batter, for the 9th Straight Season, striking out Pirates Catcher, Manny Sanguillen;

Upper Level was still $1.30 and Metro Cards did not exist;

For 1 Sad Memory, I was at Shea, watching the Mets play, the Night After Tom Seaver got traded. The Crowd was Tiny, like a little over 6,000 at that Game. That was Friday, June 16th, 1977, at the time that Shea Stadium was getting to be known as "Grant's Tomb", as a nasty aside to Mets Chairman Of The Board, M. Donald Grant;

"Shea Goodbye!"
