mets 1964

Wow.

Great video, I got choked up watching it. I remember going to a dodger weekend game around that year,i was a kid, i think it was a double header, and the umpire made a bad call at the plate calling a Met out, and the place went crazy, packed house,everyone waving handkerchiefs, some people throwing things, the umpires stopped the game until it calmed down, does anyone remember that?I also remember Wes Parker was brutally harrassed at first base, I wish someone would remember the date, i cant .

Hi Niterider..Ultimate Mets Database has a fan memory entry for April 19, 1968..the fan recalls Jerry Grote being called out at first on a terrible call, killing a Mets rally..the crowd was abusing the 1st base ump and of course Wes Parker played first...the fan claims the Grote play ended the game, but a check of retrosheet shows it more likely occurred in the 7th inning..game was played on a Friday afternoon...perhaps this is what you remember?

I doubt it....this appears to have been a single night game...note the scoreboard clock...the game was beginning at about 8pm...and if it was a routine game would probably end a little after 10pm...now they begin at 7:05 and run until 10:30

Excellent footage of the REAL Shea Stadium.  That scoreboard was magnificent before all of that blue paint came along.

Ah, the old ballbark. Miss it.

Roy Mcmillan seemed very unpleasantly surprised when he saw the camera right in his face. It looked like his cap hit the camera, startling him.

how long did it take to dig up this footage

45 years, about the same length of time as between Phillies world Series CHampionships
