Summary: Good but, missing good stuff - see the mets fan documentary
Comment: This DVD is missing some great moment in history like 69 and 73, but I'm a Mets fan and I enjoyed what they had. Felt a little cheated that it wasn't complete. Maybe that's why they didn't list what is on the DVD. Anyway, if you're a Mets fan you should check out Mathematically Alive. Great movie about what it means to be a fan and how serious people take the sport. Very interesting and I like that it went beyond the fans and the game and explored the psychological aspects of fandom with a sport psychologist. Check it out at www.mathematicallyalive.com or Mathematically Alive: A Story of Fandom DVD

Summary: A must have for any Mets' fan...
Comment: Simply put, it is a must have for any New York Mets fan. While I wish there was more drama and build up to some of the excerpts - Todd Pratt's walk-off homerun against the Diamondbacks as an example - I couldn't be more pleased with the purchase. It will be something I can use to look back on the past and remember with fondness, as well as something to get me through the rough times when the present isn't going so well...

Summary: Nothing from 1973???
Comment: Where's the '73 season???? The 1973 National League series clinching game 5 victory over the mighty Cincinnatti Reds was played at Shea Stadium. Not to mention the Mets won 2 out of 3 at Shea in the World Series against Oakland.
What gives? Maybe there will be a VOL. 2

Summary: Missing one of the greatest Mets games ever??????
Comment: OK, so I wasn't around in 1969, but how can you leave out that game
And what the heck is that game with Mets and Yankees where Wright hit a walk off? That game is barely memorable. In fact, I had to look it up to see what game they are actually showing on this DVD.
against Atlanta where the Mets scored 10 runs in the bottom of the eighth capped off by a Piazza 3-run home run? June 30, 2000. That was definitely the most memorable game for me. Shea was ROCKIN that inning. And this was in the midst of the hated rivalry between the Mets and Braves. The days of Rocker and Chipper. And this was the day after Rocker's return to Shea after making his racist comments.
I was going to buy this DVD set until I found out this game was not featured. Any mets fan knows exactly what game I'm talking about. At least I still have it on VHS.

Summary: But who has time to watch all 6 games, buy Shea Goodbye Instead!
Comment: Saw this at Best Buy for $44.99 and Shea Goodbye for $19.99. I live near Flushing and have seen the construction of The Overblown Travesty of Citi Field everyday going to and from work and this looked interesting.
This says it has 6 complete games and totals more than 16 hours and Shea Goodbye has just the highlights and totals only 76 minutes. Not really into baseball too much but living in NY less than 5 miles from Shea Stadium thought I might pickup and watch once Shea was destroyed and that $600+ million retro Ebbets Field with the 20 year $20 million naming rights joke called Citi Field replaced it. unless you're a real diehard Mets fan who wants to watch 6 complete games like they show Yankees games on MSG or YES network here in NY, I'd stick to the 76 minutes Shea Goodbye.
