Thanks for posting this. I been to all 3 Mets Stadiums in my lifetime, The Polo Grounds, Shea and Citi Field. Shea Stadium will always be my favorite ballpark. I was at the very first Mets win at Shea April 19, 1964 and game 7 World Series October 27, 1986 the last time the Mets won the World Series

Shea Stadium ALWAYS AND FOREVER Mets home

Number 21 is Ed Kranepool. He wore it until Warren Spahn came over in 1965 and then took number 7.

[@john-e-be]

Thanks for the insight.
I wondered why he wore a different number…

[@richshort8120]

I remember Ron Swoboda wearing #14 until Gil Hodges came, than he switched to #4 and Casey Stengel is the only Met to wore #37 in the history of the Mets​@john-e-be

Thank you so much for posting this. It really is a Time Machine to a more innocent time. I was loving this until I saw M. Donald Grant who I will never forgive for destroying the NYM out of spite in the mid 1970’s.

I still miss Shea. Yeah, it was showing it's age, the smell of urine and cigarettes in the bathroom. Crumbling plaster. Hiking up the ramps to the upper deck. But, thinking when I was going to Shea in the late 70's, til it's demise, I would like one more trip on the 7 for a Friday night game at Shea.

Mr. Met making his first appearance during the '64 season-the first time a team had a live action mascot.

Take from “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” - a brilliant movie from the same year.

Miss Shea so much I call Citi field Shea. LGM

[@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229]

you must mean Shitty Filed..I refuse to attend

[@mattdon2164]

Me too! Shea Stadium will always be the real home of the Mets. You have to have grown up there to really understand.

The Toilet Bowl. CitiField is Toilet Bowl II. What can you say about a team that plays in Flushing?

I loved going to Shea Stadium.

[@Gamers-zi2er]

Horrible place, especially in the upper levels.

I don’t think Willie touched first base in the beginning of this video

[@45vinyljunkie]

The kid at 13:54 didn't touch home plate, either.

[@anthonytripp2251]

I'm old enough to have seen the Mets at the Polo Grounds and Shea. Big Shea was a magic place. I will never go to Citi Field

[@jfchonors8873]

Me too

[@jdicarlo3654]

Awesome

[@jfchonors8873]

Love how Bob Murphy said progress was evident He was correct - in 1964 the Mets finished only 40 games back

[@remme6]

If you can, could you please post the 1962 film?

[@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229]

funny I was going to ask you the same thing..I dont think there is one (1970 too)

[@mattdon2164]

@@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229 The 1985 highlight film was a good one. “Mets Tone News”. It was highly creative and entertaining. Thanks for all of your efforts with these early highlight films. I’m like a kid in the candy store again!
