Quick: what is your earliest baseball memory as a New York Mets fan?
For many, it is the glimpse of the field the first time they ever walked through the tunnel to their seat at Shea Stadium or Citi Field. For others, it’s pulling an all-nighter watching the Mets win on a West Coast trip.
Mine is sneaking a portable radio into school to try and listen to day games, even when the Mets weren’t on.
For this generation of baseball fans, I’d go out on a limb and say that the majority of people have experienced their favorite moments either live or on television.
