I must be really Mets-cocooned, because the notion that there is, as Myers puts it, all this talk about YS and not enough about Shea, I'm thinking, "Yankee Stadium? Is that having a final season, too?"

My friend Fabio was a Shea vendor in his summers. He'd get the cold drinks on the cold nights and the hot chocolates on the sweltering days. Almost made him hate the Mets.

My Flushing-raised brother-in-law vended as well. It is the reason he hates baseball.

I vended at the Carrier Dome as an undergrad.

My grandpa was a vendor at Yankee Stadium as a kid in I guess the early '30s. He sold scorecards among other things.

The final season at Yankees Stadium was in 1973.

That was a great article and I'm green with envy. Can you imagine not only being a vendor at Shea, but rounding up the players to appear on Kiner's Korner.
