May 19

Up at 3:15 AM
6 AM flight
Sat next to two women wearing blindfolds while they slept
I talked to the gate agent and she said the flight looked good.
Somehow, I started smiling
As I stood online to hop a cab, I was still smiling
Got dropped off by the right field gate
I found Catherine right by the players entrance
RA Dickey autographed my ticket
Apple right near the subway entrance
Bases in the parking lot
8,000 kids arrive
Mets Hall of Fame with plaques, broadcaster highlights, World Series rings, game used equipment, etc.
They did a tremendous job putting it together, I just wish there were more great memories.
Weather Education Day
Mr. G and Laura Church
Boring as hell
All the kids gathered on the third base side
No BP
Disappointing, we had three or four sections to ourselves and we wanted to catch some home run balls.
Gave her the peanut butter and chocolate combo cookie from Carole's. Little did I know she would wipe 3/4 of it out within 20 minutes
Mama's of Corona
Italian special with salami, peppered ham, homemade mozzarella, roasted red peppers, and marinated mushrooms
Cascarino's Grandma pizza, which is like a margherita pizza
Caesar's Club, I can understand why stands are so empty, especially when it's cold outside. This place is gorgeous
Sushi, pizza, rotisseries, a gorgeous bar with exotic spirits, especially whiskeys and Latin rums
Comfortable sofas
Great photos of Arthur Ashe Stadium
Second row of Left Field
Jason Pridie tosses a ball to Catherine
Dillon Gee
No-hitter through five
Livan Hernandez breaks it up
Justin Turner's RBI single proved the difference
Held on for a 1-0 victory
We walked around the Mets team store for about a half hour before heading towards the right field corner and McFadden's
Women dancing on bars
Could not have a conversation
Sat outside
At 5:30, it was time to go
Long embrace
Got a little emotional as the car pulled away.
$20 as opposed to $11 for a taxi
Two flights left
Standby list
36 of 42
They told me the flights looked full

Only 15 standbys in the lobby
#24 almost got on
Last flight
6 of 16
We all got called together
Seat belt issues, Strap stuck behind the seat and other seat
Jazz music
Home at 11 pm
