IWith names like Keith Hernandez, Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden highlighting past line-ups, it’s a wonder that any baseball ever got played in Shea Stadium. But, like 1969, those days were long ago. When manager Casey Stengel first brought his comical expansion team to Shea Stadium they were the laughing-stock of baseball. They would redeem themselves in a few short years. New York Mets players have long battled the intense media spotlight upon arriving to the city that never sleeps, stronger than the hot August suns of the dog day afternoons at Shea Stadium.  Buy New York Mets Tickets.

Located in Flushing, NY, in the borough of Queens, Shea Stadium sits near the site of the 1964 World’s Fair, where the introduction to the television show “The King of Queens,” was filmed; you may see the famed Terrace on the Park restaurant, located atop those futuristic towers, and the gigantic stainless steel globe which marked the fair site.  Find New York Mets Tickets.

Before the coming of the Miracle Mets, in the golden days of baseball, the New York Metropolitan Baseball Club, the New York Mets, were a joke. They have since transformed into a powerhouse, and Shea Stadium fans, the catalyzers of hydroponic pond scum, come to expect a different brand of baseball.
