No- i take the 7train to Mets games all the time, unlike Rocker.....its actually safer to be on the 7 train then on Roosevelt Ave itself
I used to work in a business across the street from Shea Stadium, approximately where Citi Field is today, I took the 7 train all the time. At the time, I would occasionally take the train with John Milner, rookie outfielder for the Mets. Then we would both take the Q44 bus to Jamaica. He was staying at the YMCA. He would smoke dope with a white kid I knew, probably shortened his career. The white kid was arrested for brandishing a gun on Parsons Boulevard while smoking dope in the middle of the night, and the DA wanted to crucify him.
