New York Mets-Atlanta Braves

Today I have to welcome you with cheers: Go Mets!!!

Yes, right, I've been to the Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens, the home of the New York Mets.
For all of you who don't know them (hi girls!;-) ): it's a baseball team. The Stadium's capacity is 57.333 people!!! We had no ticket reservation so we got seats in one of the upper rows. Though the distance to the field, you can see everything very well, so that was no real problem for us.
There we were, four men, hot dogs, and a baseball game...very manly, horrhorrhorr! (Tool time, you know! ;-) ) The atmosphere on the stages was...well, I guess it was just the most American experience one can imagine. All those families with their kids in Mets-jerseys down to their knees, thousands of flags and Mets-caps, all the people moving from their seats to the restrooms, the food court, and back...I needed the first two or three innings to get into the rules of this game, not too difficult.
The only bad thing about that all: the Mets lost 2:3 after leading 2:0 until the 8th inning...but acctually: I don't care, it was a sensational experience!
