SHEA FOR SALE.

Today is proving to be an odd day. I will post more about this later, but for now, let me talk about this list I just got.

Someone forwarded me a copy of the listing - including prices - of every single bit of Shea Stadium the Mets plan to put on sale. I am not sure about the ethics of posting the entire list (not to mention it’s ridiculously long, and I’d like to not be on the blacklist forever), but I wanted to post some of my favorites.

Note: I do not know where you can buy this stuff. So please do not ask.
