Was the 16-0 game fireworks night against Maddux? I believe Trax was pitching (yes, I was at alot of
those games) and the crowd was chanting "We want fireworks!" in the fourth inning.
I was at two games towards the end of 2001 where we were facing the Braves and Benitez blew it. I was at one game where we were up by (I think) 4 runs and Benitez came in, and someone (ignorant to the Mets choke-i-tude) with me goes, "OK, so three more outs and we can go home, right?" That kinda jinxed it right there.
Any game that Steve Traschel pitched.
I was at Game 2 of the NLCS against the Cardinals in 2006, where Wagner blew it to the great So Taguchi. You've never heard 56,000 fans collectively shut the hell up as fast as that. We were in the top row of the upper deck way out behind left field and you could literally hear a pin drop on the field, which is pretty impressive since it's made of grass and dirt.
I was at the game (in Philly, so it's not really a Shea memory) where Pedro got hurt in Philly. The fans were such @ssholes that we wound up leaving during the 7th inning. It's sad how security guards could laugh at some of the shiot Phillie fans were doing.
I was at fan appreciation day in 1997 where they gave everyone a photo album type thing with all the players in it to get autographed. Since I was a wee bit smaller, I was leaned up against the front row by the dugout. I handed my book to Butch Husky and he looks at me and goes, "Do you have a pen?" I didn't (the players all had sharpies, but I guess he ate his), and he handed the book back to me and ran straight to the buffet line.
