The Eddie Kranepool Society: HERE WE ARE, WAVING GOOD-BYE AT THE STATION……..

Join Steve Keane in saying goodbye to Shea Stadium, popcorn-filled Mr. Met meg-a-phones…and $1,155 for 4 tickets. ( Musta killed him to sell off that Mr. Met Card Game for that…tis a shame)

I just gave the Skill Sets $1,155 for 4 tickets for each of the seven games of the “SHEA GOOD-BYE” package.

I bought this package out of sheer emotion and nothing to do with whom ever Omar gets to fortify the pitching staff this deal is between me, my wife and kids, and a tenement of a ball park.

I went to Shea with my late father and brothers back in 1964 when believe it or not Shea was a brand new state of the art stadium. Both Ebbits Field and the Polo Grounds were all brick and mortar structures from a bygone time. Shea was all steel and shiny with plenty of parking and access from all the suburbs where the white flight landed.

As a 6 year old kid who just started to fall in love with the concept of hitting and catching and hanging out with the leading men of family, Shea will always hold a big spot in my heart and soul. Sure I ##### and moan about the leaks in the over head pipes and the constrictive leg room in the seats and the world famous puddles of urine, beer and other bodily juices on the men’s room floors but still as much as I anticipate the opening day of $iti Field, the date the bulldozers knock down Shea will leave me weeping.
