CONTEST: YOUR WORST DAY OR NIGHT AT SHEA.

Thanks to the fine folks at A&E Home Video, I have TWO copies of the DVD boxset you see right here: THE NEW YORK METS: ESSENTIAL GAMES OF SHEA STADIUM. You’ve seen everyone else giving this one away, now it’s my turn. However, unlike, say, Adam Rubin, I’m not going to ask you trivia questions that the likes of TBF would be proud of. No, I want some creativity.

I want to hear about your WORST game at Shea. Was it snowing? Were you on a bad date and it went into extra innings? Did your mother choose to embarrass you in front of the entire section at age 13? Did the Mets just plain old suck in ridiculous fashion? Or was it some combination of all of the above?  Write and tell me about it.

I have TWO sets to give away, courtesy Suzanne at A&E, and I will give them away to the person who sends in the story that both TBF and I (since he’s sat through some horrible, horrible games) will judge.

Please send your entry to metsgrrl at gmail dot com. Entries must be received by Midnight Brooklyn time, Monday, May 26, 2008. If you have been to a game with me, bought me a beer, met my parents or know the names of my siblings, you are disqualified. I will publish (anonymously if you wish) the best entries here.
