Faster, Nostaligia!
The Mets’ payroll depends on it:
In a decidedly odd online auction, the cash-strapped Mets are hawking seven separate chunks of the padded left-field wall, that’s been guarded by such “old-time” Amazin’s legends as Daniel Murphy and Jason Bay.
. . .
Citi Field’s nonhistoric left-field wall had always been 16 feet high, until the team decided to lower it eight feet in hopes of striking a more fair balance between pitchers and home-run hitters.
The soon-to-be-auctioned wall chunks are made up of two or seven panels, each section about 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall.
Location Scout: Citi Field.
