Steady Eddie Kranepool. Shea goodbye #7

He played for some awful teams in the early 60’s and 1 championship team in 1969. He played for the Mets until 1979. He was a crowd favorite during those lean years. He also was a pretty good pinch hitter .

Well he was out in left center last night to drop the Mets games at Shea down to 7. He wasn’t much luck though. Kevin Burkhardt interviewed him during the game and he still ranks the Mets winning the World Series in ’69 as his favorite time with the Mets. He also had some nice words about Ole Shea.

Who will be there tonight for the unveiling of #6?. Be nice to see Wally Backman. Will not hold my breath though.
