Mets Opening Day 2008, Part 5
With the starting lineups out of the way, only a few on-field ceremonies remain.
Next to the retired numbers is a covering of some sort. Could it be? Are they retiring #8 or #17?
The cover starts coming down…
.. and it’s a circle commemorating William Shea. I don’t have any problems recognizing the man who brought National League baseball back to New York. Still, it would be nice if they recognized The Kid or Mex one of these days.
The presentation of our nation’s colors.
The Star-Spangled Banner is belted out.
A flyover and then it’s “Play Ball!”
