1986 Mets

It was 1986 and two college students from Rhode Island decided to take a road trip to NYC that night to get tickets to the World Series. A World Series game that the Met’s had only seen since 1969. I know of this event because I was one of those students and that was one of the most incredible nights of my life!

What made it so incredible were the stars were in the right place for everything to fall in line.  We had just made the last train going to Shea Stadium (it existed then). When we arrived at Shea Stadium the prices for the tickets were $200 each way above our price line and therefore we decided to walk to a bar to watch the game but just as the National Anthem was being played a scalper agreed to sell us tickets for $50 each.  WARNING this was 1986 way before fine fake tickets could be made.  It was the 6th game of the World Series and a game that teetered on the edge from sky divers in the middle of the field to a ball between a major league superstars legs this was the ultimate baseball experience.  I may forget many things in my life but this event will be glued to my mind till my very last days
