1975

Good early morning Friends & Family.  As some of you know that I gave a little Speach at My Father’s wake the other day. This morning I’m going to try and recount a little bit of that story. The year was 1975 the Mets 2 years removed from a World Series run in 1973 when they were not expected to do anything. My Dad decided to take his 3 young Sons to the Ball game @ Shea Stadium Mets vs Phillies.  Along with Uncle Lee & his family. Now I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t really remember the exact date or time of the game.  But I do remember that My DAD bought Me a game day program that I still have to this very day. I’m not entirely sure that everyone who was there remembers that feeling that they had but I do because it was My first BIG League game. I’m going to be honest again I don’t even remember who WON or lost the game.  But I will always remember that My DAD & Uncle Lee passed down a Love of the game of Baseball history that you just can’t find today. I’m probably never gonna be able to repay my Father & Uncle for that. But I try My best to share My Knowledge & Love of the game with my younger Friends & Family as often as I can. I also believe that the younger generation Should go visit the Baseball Hall of Fame and learn more about how things used to be. In closing I wish to GOD that the Steroids ERA didn’t happen but it did and it has definitely changed how I look at things today.
