My Dad worked for the New York Telephone Co. He helped install the phone system at Shea when it was being built. Since then I've been a Mets fan.
Take from “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” - a brilliant movie from the same year.
Even though I am not a Mets fan, I do miss Shea Stadium because of all the experience that relates to me as a baseball nut. Thanks for the memories. 😊
This brings back warm childhood memories. Some of my earliest memories are of the Worlds Fair. By the time 1969 rolled around, I was well entrenched forever as a Mets fan with blue and orange blood flowing through my veins. I was a proud little leaguer who played for the Gil Hodges LL in Brooklyn, NY. We watched some of the WS day games in elementary school. It was all about the miracle Mets in 1969, that magical late summer run towards the playoffs and WS. I grew up with Lindsay, Bob, and of course Ralph Kiner. Kiners Korner was must see TV after every Met game, even when opposing players won and were guests on the show. Ralph Kiner stories and insights filled me with wonder. He knew all the greats and shared many stories. The Mets are family to me and part of my life.
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
You missed the great Game 6 by 1 game.
“BEHIND THE BAG!!!”
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.
Mr. Met making his first appearance during the '64 season-the first time a team had a live action mascot.
I loved going to Shea Stadium.
Horrible place, especially in the upper levels.
LITTLE LEAGUE
Thanks for posting and sharing another film of early Mets history.
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…
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
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
Shea Stadium ALWAYS AND FOREVER Mets home
Glorious
1964 had one VERY down moment, on Father's Day when Phillies pitcher Jim Bunning, the Father of nine children, threw a perfect game against the Mets.
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
I remember the outfield walls being green in 1969.
Love how Bob Murphy said progress was evident He was correct - in 1964 the Mets finished only 40 games back
RIP Ed Kranepool!❤

Awesome
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.
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...⌛️
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)
@@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 don’t think Willie touched first base in the beginning of this video
The kid at 13:54 didn't touch home plate, either.
Top notch executive talent…M. Donald Grant. Get real.
In a cruel twist of fate, The World indeed, has become Mets,Mets,Mets,Mets like. It’s just one big Gay Mets World now
AS A LIFE LONG YANKEES FAN I HATED THE METS SHEA STADIUM WAS A DUMP MY OLDER BROTHER HAS BEEN A METS FAN FAN SINCE 1962 THAT IS A DAMN SHAME KENNETHO
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)
They sucked then, they suck now
they all suck now (MLB) its laughable big waste of time no class no tradition..all about themselves
@@pheniafilmsthemlbarchiveso9229💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯
SCHMECKLE HEAD.
1923 YANKEE STADIUM, RANKS WITH THE COLOSSEUM IN ROME. IT WAS THE FIRST TRIPLE--DECKED STRUCTURE OF ITS KIND AND FIRST TO HAVE THE NAME ☆STADIUM ☆YANKEE STADIUM 🏟.
I love these old videos from the early 60s and the young New York Mets I'm exactly one year older than a Mets call Mom an old dude lol. As one poster said it was a more innocent time, unfortunately I haven't seen any Mets games in 4 years, due to crime on the subways😢
