Mike Piazza returns to Shea Stadium

I love Mike Piazza. I was there at his first game in May 1998. I was there when he capped off a 10-run rally to beat the Braves 11-8 in July 2000. I was there when he played his last game as a Met last October.

I was there last night to welcome him back to Shea Stadium.

It’s weird to see him in anything but a Mets uniform. Sure, he was a Dodger for a long time before he became a Met but so much of his career was defined as a Met.

The fans eagerly wait for Mike to take his cuts in batting practice.

Flushing in the distance.

Meet the Mets, beat the Mets

Thanks to a free ticket from Ivan, I attended the Mets-Cubs game at Shea Stadium on Tuesday. I got there a little early so I took some pictures around the stadium.

The bowels of Shea – can’t wait for the new stadium.
