I don't speak Spanish so I can't talk to a lot af Met ballpayers anymore now but as a little boy who lived at 844 Flatbush Avenue in a 3-floor walkup a long time ago I got to Ebbets Field with my father. Monster seats were $2.50 reserved along the lines just behind the $3.50 box seats. You were IN THE GAME and up close. I went to a World Serious game in 1953 and watched Brooklyn win it. Those were $7.50 seats and I had no idea that anybody could have that much money to watch a baseball game.
In 1962 as a teen I used to hump and haul with the Bee Line bus out of Hempstead to snag the E train in Jamaica to the 7th Avenue stop to grab the D train up to the Polo Grounds. A bag of sandwiches and $1.25 and a can of soda wrapped in aluminum (wrapped by your mother) got you general admission and sometimes a doubleheader on a weekend or holiday.
My old man would never take me to Polo Grounds when the NY Giants played baseball there. He hated the Yankees, the Giants, and the German that hit him with 4 rounds in Italy, in that order.
