Thanks for posting this. I been to all 3 Mets Stadiums in my lifetime, The Polo Grounds, Shea and Citi Field. Shea Stadium will always be my favorite ballpark. I was at the very first Mets win at Shea April 19, 1964 and game 7 World Series October 27, 1986 the last time the Mets won the World Series
Thank you so much for posting this. It really is a Time Machine to a more innocent time. I was loving this until I saw M. Donald Grant who I will never forgive for destroying the NYM out of spite in the mid 1970’s.
I remember Ron Swoboda wearing #14 until Gil Hodges came, than he switched to #4 and Casey Stengel is the only Met to wore #37 in the history of the Mets@john-e-be
I still miss Shea. Yeah, it was showing it's age, the smell of urine and cigarettes in the bathroom. Crumbling plaster. Hiking up the ramps to the upper deck. But, thinking when I was going to Shea in the late 70's, til it's demise, I would like one more trip on the 7 for a Friday night game at Shea.
@@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229 The 1985 highlight film was a good one. “Mets Tone News”. It was highly creative and entertaining. Thanks for all of your efforts with these early highlight films. I’m like a kid in the candy store again!

I loved going to Shea Stadium.
Horrible place, especially in the upper levels.

Mr. Met making his first appearance during the '64 season-the first time a team had a live action mascot.
Shea Stadium ALWAYS AND FOREVER Mets home
Take from “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” - a brilliant movie from the same year.
Number 21 is Ed Kranepool. He wore it until Warren Spahn came over in 1965 and then took number 7.
Thanks for the insight.
I wondered why he wore a different number…

Thanks for posting and sharing another film of early Mets history.
Glorious
Miss Shea so much I call Citi field Shea. LGM
you must mean Shitty Filed..I refuse to attend
Me too! Shea Stadium will always be the real home of the Mets. You have to have grown up there to really understand.
The Toilet Bowl. CitiField is Toilet Bowl II. What can you say about a team that plays in Flushing?
@@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229you must be a Yankee fan
Awesome
I'm old enough to have seen the Mets at the Polo Grounds and Shea. Big Shea was a magic place. I will never go to Citi Field
Me too
RIP Ed Kranepool!❤

Love how Bob Murphy said progress was evident He was correct - in 1964 the Mets finished only 40 games back
Greetings...pretty good year for NY.. The Beatles on Sullivan..the werlds fair,MLB ALL☆STAR game..pretty good year for NY...not so much recently...⌛️
I don’t think Willie touched first base in the beginning of this video
The kid at 13:54 didn't touch home plate, either.
If you can, could you please post the 1962 film?
funny I was going to ask you the same thing..I dont think there is one (1970 too)

Shea was the first of those lousy cookie cutter ballparks
RFK Stadium was the first in 1961, known as DC Stadium (District of Columbia Stadium)
