The Shea Statistics, Mets2Moon Style

It's been a little too easy to be negative around here lately, obviously due to recent events involving the Mets and their rivals, and while I still have plenty to say in regard to this, I think it more appropriate to do a little something I'd planned for a while, which is a summation of my life at Shea Stadium, for 22 seasons and 269 games. I did a brief rundown of my game statistics last year, in commemoration of the 20th Anniversary of my first Mets game in 1987, but that was somewhat bare-bones. It's always been my tradition to buy and keep a scorecard of every game I've been to (This practice has become a pricey proposition as time has passed, but I'm incredibly superstitious about these things), and I keep them stored in a series of binders encompassing the history I've witnessed (Postseason games are kept separately). Shea is being dismantled more and more with each passing day, and though I've done several photo-heavy posts about it, this one's for me.
