:( A sad day in Baseball History. Hate to be on the Met's groundskeeper's crew when they came to the PG.

In a few minutes it will be in new York. We should have a moment of silence at that time.

It is ironic that the Giants drew 4,000 more fans to their final PG game than the Dodgers did 5 days earlier at EF.

The irony lies in the fact that the Dodgers signficantly outdrew the Giants in NYC in their final years.
