Mets Season Final at Citifield

A great end to the summer. Derek managed to get tickets to the new Citifield Stadium here in Queens and I got to see the Mets play. I'm not a big fan of baseball on tv, a bit of a snorefest if you ask me. But I love going to the park. The people watching is great. The food is great. You get some good sun, you do sing-a-long, you dance a bit and then the 7th inning stretch. Fun. After we strolled over to where they play the US Open Tennis Championships, then on to Corona park which is like Central Park for Queens. The park was filled with soccer players from all over Latin America. I had just seen a documentary on PBS about the Golden League who play in the park. All ex-professional players from all over South America. So if you are a big fan of soccer it's the place to see some of your heroes from days gone by.
