totally worth it to sit that close one time. i'm going to keep an eye out for a sat or sunday game for that price.

I've sat close before, but not behind home plate. hmm, I think i'll be keeping an eye out too, but saturday/sunday games are going to be more expensive, no matter how they are playing.

not me....we had company seats in 108 row 13....about as clsoe as i have been, unless you count the front row of the bleachers....or you count pitching off the vistors bullpen mound as being closer.

I had second row directly behind homeplate once. My mom's boss had season tickets and couldn't go. Awesome being that close! It did kind of suck as the catcher's back was directly to us so it was really hard to see pitches and determine balls and strikes. Other than that, it was badass!

yup. threw some killer curve balls. i was unhittable.

as part of our package, we had these pre game clinics on the field. we started with playing a catch the flyball game, then tossed off the visitor bullpen mound for a little bit, before gettingn pictures in the dugout.

they brought out rich hill and carlos marmol...hill hit the balls for the fly ball game, marmol just stood around and didn't say anything....think it was his rookie year. '07 maybe. got autographs from hill and marmol as well as tom glavine who was with the mets that year.

Actually, from what I read online...he got plugs. So funny because George's character had so many bald references and moments on Seinfeld! The bald cream from China, the hairpiece that Elain threw out the window...among others!
