This was my first major league game. My Dad took me on a muggy spring afternoon. I couldn't believe how green the diamond grass was. The Polo Grounds was a very intimate stadium. I remember sitting near stanchions supporting the upper deck. Norm Sherry's home run in the top of the second was off Warren Spahn's first pitch. It was a line shot straight into the left field upper deck. All of this was unforgettable for a seven-year-old boy. Amazingly enough, the Mets won, which was all to rare in those early years. I am so happy to find this box score online.

This was my second major league game. Since all you had in those days was black and white tv, the field looked magnificent! The greenest grass and the brownest dirt you ever saw. I remember Sherry's homer very well. A line shot right down the left field line into the upper deck. I remember Warren Spahn's ridiculously high leg kick and I could not believe that the Mets beat him.
