Once I had kids, there was no longer time to watch a game, but I still have fond memories of the Mets of the 1980s.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-58703037053199977692016-04-20T16:32:42.824-04:002016-04-20T16:32:42.824-04:00Oh no Ferrante burnout -- from her no. 1 fan?

The book is wonderful so far. I've been a casual Yankees fan all my life, but somehow became a Mets fanatic for nearly a decade... it was so much fun. When we lived in Fairfield County, CT I went to a few Mets games with coworkers and still treasure those memories. I haven't been to the new stadium, but am hoping to catch a game there sometime this summer. I'm sure your parents would be happy to know they are part of the walkway.JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-8842202111101007372016-04-18T21:42:22.612-04:002016-04-18T21:42:22.612-04:00Jessicabookworm - I still need to read Cranford!
