Well it's a good thing, since this is pretty much all that they have of Bill Shea at Shea right now Just his HOF bust and a picture of him in the lobby at one of his opening day appearances. And it's about time as well!

i don't like it. have a plaque, have a sign, have anything BUT a jersey with a number on it. retired jerseys with numbers should only be for players who wore that number.

Thats what they are going to do, I quoted retired numbers because that is where it is going up next to. Sorry for the confusion.

They could retire 62 for him and nobody would care

Would be nice if the Met memorobilia and tributes were at least in a reachable spot in the new place and not too hard to find amongst all the Jackie tributes. I don't really have a problem with naming the rotunda area for Jackie, but his area should be in addition to NYM stuff rather than instead of or overwhelming it.

Mets.com promises us "an interactive Mets museum with club memorabilia and Hall of Fame displays," so genuflecting shouldn't be a problem.

At least as long as they don't stuff the thing off in some deep, dark corner or make it accessable only by those on their way to the luxury suites.
