Dog Day at the Park

Last night was another Dog Day at Shea Stadium. Fans and their pooches filled the picnic area of Shea Stadium. Tickets were $26 for humans and $5 for dogs. Dog ticket proceeds, as well as a portion of the human tickets will benefit North Shore Animal League America.
On Saturday, Sept. 23, 2006 North Shore Animal League America and the New York Mets will host another Dog Day at Shea Stadium.

If you would like to attend the event, please make sure that your dog is:

• Dog and family friendly.
• Leashed at all times in and around Shea Stadium. The leash should not be longer than 4-6 feet.
• Healthy and fully vaccinated, including rabies vaccination.

Water will be conveniently available for your dog and the picnic area of the stadium will be set up to accommodate all visitors and their dogs.

I am strongly considering bringing Diesel. But Kate hates the Mets and is working that night. I will need at least one other person to help with dog wrangling. If you are interested let me know.

Last year, on Dog Day at Shea, the Mets gave Pedro Martinez an 8-0 lead against Livan Hernandez and the Washington Nationals. For some reason Willie took Pedro out after six innings. In the 7th the trio of Graves, Koo and Heilman allowed six runs. Looper came on in the 9th to save it, and blew the game. The Mets did however get a game winning hit from Chris Woodward in the bottom of the 10th. The dogs went home happy.
