more images of Opening Day

I took very few pictures of the game, but a lot of pictures of the set and setting of Opening Day at Shea.


This is the sign right at the exit from the subway to the bridge to the stadium. I have always loved that rather than being more specific, saying something like "Shea Stadium" or "The New York Mets" or even "Willets Point," the sign simply says what you're going to get if you follow it-- Baseball.

Citi Field is taking shape in the former parking lot. I am not particularly happy about this new stadium, from it's size to it's name, but it's pretty cool to see the progress since last fall.

Mets fans as ants, heading for the entrances to the park.




if you get really thirsty, there's a huge iced coffee over the visitor's bullpen.

you have to respect a guy who goes to the expense of having this jersey made. well, respect or pity, depending on your mood and his behavior.

AH's kick-ass Mets Nikes.
