I lived during those days in South Ozone Park, pretty far from Flushing but when we weren’t playing ball we rode far and wide.
Even rode across the GWB to visit family in Jersey.
This was an amazing win, Murphy and the pitchers came through, Wright, Cespedes and Duda need to step up.
Duda was great defensively though.
My, South Ozone Park to Shea Stadium IS quite a ride! Good for you for doing it, though. We were lucky to be within easy walking distance.
My Nana (God rest her soul) was a HUGE Met fan, and she would take us to day games on Wednesdays. That’s when you got the Senior Citizen discount, and could see a game for like a buck and a half.
Then we’d walk home and Nana would make us spiced ham and butter sandwiches. Finally, we’d go across Roosevelt Avenue to the ice cream parlor for a root beer float.
Such great memories...
Let’s Go Mets!

PS: YES! Wright, Duda, and Cespedes MUST wake up those bats. I don’t think we can win without them doing so.
Daniel Murphy was spectacular last night — who the hell steals third on a WALK?? EPIC!
