| 1. | Sidebar. I grew up a Mets fan, always in the cellar of the of the National League, unless the Chicago Cubs were there. We Mets fans had a bond with the Cubs fans, and in some ways they had a cooler stadium because they had outfield bleachers. |
| 2. | When an opposing team hit a home run, the tradition at Wrigley Field was to throw the ball back on the field, as if rejecting the home run. "We have better things to do, we're too busy to deal with this now" the Cubs fans seemed to be saying. Of course if Shea Stadium had bleachers like this we would have done the same, I'm sure. |
| 3. | Now what I love about this is the arrogance of the disempowered. We have no power, us cellar-dwellers, us independent developers. But we can be arrogant anyway. ;-> |
