Jason Fry is a Brooklyn writer whose first memories include his mom leaping up and down cheering for Rusty Staub. Check out his other writing here. Got something to say?

It’s the reason I snapped up tickets in January, the reason I schlepped my stubborn cold and a hundred or so tissues to Citi Field Saturday night. I wanted the Mets to remind me of Shea. Oh, they […] 6 comments - (Comments closed) | | Print This Post | Craig Kimbrel, Jose Valverde, Justin Upton, Mets Promotions, Opportunitease, Shea Stadium Well, that was inconclusive.
