The year of the Mets… and I switch allegiance.
I’m 11 years old and my Mom convinced 2 of my older siblings’ teachers to take me and my brothers to Connie Mack Stadium for a twi-night doubleheader vs the Mets. I had followed the Mets due to wear we lived in Pennsylvania and couldn’t get the broadcasts on our antenna. The NY stations came in clear and I couldn’t warm up to the Yankees.
Imagine this little country boy being driven to an area I wasn’t familiar with but I was going to my first games!
