Sports Illustrated today released the results of a study where fans were questioned on different aspects of all 30 MLB stadiums. What a shocker that Shea finished 28th, beating out RFK Stadium (which isn’t even used anymore) and Dolphin Stadium (for baseball it is bad).
Food – 30th (one fan commented – “You’re kidding, right? This is Shea you’re asking about.”)
History & Tradition – 19th (the Royals (1969), Brewers (1969), and Mariners (1977) all finished ahead – I know when I think baseball tradition I think of this
Fan Hospitality – 29th (most of the comments here focus on incidents during the Mets-Yankees games)
Promotions – 28th
Neighborhood – 28th (and guess what, this ain’t gonna change with Corporate Field in 2009)
> Thanks to Cyclonesfan for this one. The Mets Police also will pass along without any commentary or talent evaluation. We hereby present some general information for others to discuss:

I like what Wagner said:
“Perez has honestly got to step up and know that we’ve just used every guy in our bullpen the night before. He can’t come out there and decide that gee, he hasn’t got it today, and so be it.â€
