One Year Later: Still Hard To Shea Goodbye
metsmerizedonline.com 9/28/2009 — One year ago today, on September 28, 2008, the Mets played their last game at Shea Stadium.

Bottom Of The Ninth-Book Review
metsfansforever.com 6/9/2009 — Author: Will Sommer It was 1958. Both the Giants and the Dodgers had gone west and New York City was left with only one team, the Yankees who were in the American League.

The bad: come on, you know what I'm going to say. (For you newbies, it's black.)
