MeiGray's new Shea 410 ft Wall

Re: MeiGray's new Shea 410 ft Wall

If they are changing wall panels it would nor surprise me one bit.I would like to know how many bases were collected throughout the season.If they did not change bases and do change them during the todays game that would give them 486 all together.Seems like a small number for the last season of Shea.A $1000 a clip the Mets have auctioned off some $486,000 seems like a nice profit.But I am sure the last game bases would be worth more.But say you change bases every inning that is 27.How did the Yankees use 53 that last game??

We need to hear from Meigray to determine if they are in fact changing panel. So far its only isolated to the 410 panel which was not even on the inventory. Should be a interesting story and I hope MeiGray tells us what that story is. Kudos to Robert's sharpe eye.

The last weekend series and particular special games (ie subway series player reaching milestones) carry a premium however regarding the milestone bases there was a Forum discussion if the milestone was say Delgado's 450's homerun was the base the actual base he stepped on during the milestone or just the other bases from that particular game.

The Yankees changed bases every half inning (sorry if i said inning). 6 x 9 = 54.

Maybe some former player asked to buy it before the sale?

I'm guessing it was taken by the Mets as part of their Museum at CitiField. They have to keep some artifacts themselves and why not the panel from the deepest part of the old ball park as one of them.

Henpecked44-I'm glad you finally realize that it will be the Red Sox in the World Series. "You're" not even better than Tampa. You got to get rid of the old guys. Hey,did you ever realize how old Jeter looks compared to photos of just a few years ago? Seriously, his face looks fuller now and if you look at the Arizona series he looks thinner,leaner. How could someone,and the team, get that old that fast?
What is Stan's and The Tavern going to do with all that extra beer?

Re: MeiGray's new Shea 410 ft Wall

Meigray is better than Steiner (didn't you get that feeling when you first became aware of them,handling the Texas Rangers jerseys?)so they're not going to make a financial blunder like not also changing the bases ,every half inning in what could be the last game at Shea.

By the by,would you purchase a seat if it was only in Shea for one game?

I don't think MeiGray is involved with game day memorabilia and Amazing Memorabilia has been on the mets.com site selling the bases on auction and direct in conjunction with MLB.

MeiGray is only involved with the selling of the pieces of the Stadium off the field like the panel we are discussing.

So whatever is decided about the base in todays game will not involve
MeiGray and only the Mets and MLB.

In my conversation with the MLB person on Friday he indicated they will be on the field after the last game (should today's game be the last game) starting to collect dirt.

Unfortunately I have a wedding to go to today so my last game was yesterday. If I chose the Mets over going to a family wedding it would be hard for me to justify all the memoribilia I purchased from MeiGray

Vintagedeputy-I don't think former players,who are used to getting things for nothing,are getting the wall. The Yankees,of all teams,were told in no uncertain terms on the last Stadium home game,don't take anything except the jersey your wearing. To hear Bud Harrelson and Ron Darling recently hinting that they would "love to have their locker" (especially Harrelson)its almost sad and you know MeiGray and management never told them what we knew.

Re: MeiGray's new Shea 410 ft Wall

I saw this post and then picked up Newsday and noticed a small article about Meigray and Mets memorabilia - the end of the article mentions that Barry bought the 410 panel for himself. Let me see if I can get a link.
