What Kind of Mets fan are you anyway?
The top of the ninth Parnell just let's in a run to make the game 4-2 am at the game with my 5 and 9 year old son's and my wife. I get up and tell the crew it is time to go the boy's have been trying to leave since the 7th inning and it is time for a change of venue we have gotten no big hits in the game while we have been in our seat's in section 538.
All of a sudden from behind us we hear were are you goin what kind of Mets fan are you leaving the game early? What kind of Mets fan am I? Needless to say I turned around found the guy and said "We are going to watch the end of the game from the field level concourse you know the new field is meant to be walked around and the game viewed from different vantage points."
Earlier in the afternoon I voiced my opinion about folks in our section calling our seats obstructed view they are not obstructed view. I am not behind a poll or other structure. We just can not see plays in Deep Left Field. So if you want to complain about the seat do not call it obstructed view. Just say you can't see plays in Left field.
What Kind of Mets Fan Am I?
The Kind that enjoys section 538 (with its quirks) and was happy to be confronted about leaving early
The Kind that went to see Piazza's first and last game at Shea
The Kind that with a 103 fever and in bed watched in disbelief as the ball went through Buckner's legs
The Kind that sat in section 13 at Shea in the late 90's early 00's
The Kind that is in the process of Brain Washing his boys while his wife comes along for the ride
The Kind that writes silly blogs about what kind of Mets fan he is
The kind that is the king of the car ride come back. Sometimes you feel like if you leave the building the teams luck will change
The kind that loved the infield of Olerud, Alfonso, Ordonez and Ventura
The Kind that grew up with Lee Mazzilli, Ellis Valentine, Joel Yongblood, Pete Falcone, Craig Swan and who can never forget Willy Montenuez
The kind that understands our history and can honor the New York Dodgers and Giants without getting all up tight. The people that get up tight have a serious inferiority complex.
I can go on and on but I think you get the point. You see we watched the last out form the concourse just passed the bridge no come back this week but some great memories at the Citi.
