Thanks to my second visit to Citi Field (I also went to the Georgetown/St. John's game on March 29) my magic number is back down to one. Of course, it was just an exhibition game, but I'll be there on Opening Day as well. I have a new favorite stadium in Citi Field which is a great place to see a game, if not expensive. Sure it doesn't have the view of PNC and AT&T nor the history of Wrigley and Fenway but Citi Field is now at the top of my list (OK it could be partly due to the fact that it's my home park). It is a wonderful, cozy park with great site lines and a good dose of character. I had a lot of good memories of Shea Stadium, but as we used to say, "it was a dump, but it was our dump". I can't wait to create a whole set of memories in this great new venue.

While touring the stadium last night, I was approached by a MLB correspondent. I was quoted in the article on MLB.com.

Oh and the game, the Mets beat the Red Sox 4-3 in a rain delayed game.

Citi Field firsts:
1st pitch - Livan Hernandez
1st hit - Dustin Pedroia
1st run -J.D. Drew
1st RBI - Chris Carter
1st SB - Jacoby Ellsbury
1st error - Ramon Castro
1st Rain Delay

Now it's time to take out a 2nd mortgage so that I can get to #41, the New Yankee Stadium.
