About Ken »

I have been a Mets fan since 1962. I attended the 32 inning double header with the Giants, and witnessed the Jim Bunning perfect game on Father's day. At the Polo Grounds in 1962 my seat was out beyond the bull pen. It was so far out that Frank Thomas (3B) would pull a home run down the left field line (he hit 32 that year, I believe) and the ball would enter the stands before we heard the crack of the bat. I sat in the upper deck at Shea in Section 1, formerly know as grandstand seating - I think the price was about $2.50. I now watch most every game from Tucson, AZ.
