Umbrella Day at CitiField
The Inner Circle’s 2015 baseball outing started out wet but ended historic.
About 40 members, spouses and friends braved rain and wet seats at Citifield in Flushing on June 27 as the Mets and Cincinnati Reds tried to do battle.
The game was stopped in the seventh inning, and ticket holders were told they could exchange their tickets for comparable seats for the next day. The rain-delayed game would be continued, and then fans could stay for the regularly scheduled game. And, the music concert with The Steve Miller Band, originally set for Saturday, would take place after the Sunday game.
It’s not clear how many from the Inner Circle team came back for the make-up. But one Mets fan filed this report:
First we saw Harvey
And we all nearly died
When the rain kept falling
And the game was stopped, tied
>>>>>
We saw the whole bullpen
The very next day
When the tickets were honored
And they continued to play
<<<<<
When we saw Parnell
The Mets led after 12
The Reds did nothing
And the win made us yell
>>>>>
But then we saw something
In the scheduled game,
A pitcher’s debut
And a moment of fame
<<<<<
We saw young Matz
And his horrible start
But he soon settled down
And tore Cincy apart
>>>>>
We saw him pitch seven:
5 hits, and 6 Ks
At bat, even better
3 hits, 4 runs – what a day!
