An article ran in the Daily News today about how both the Mets and Yankees are treating their final home stands as if it was a World Series game. The police will be out in full force in an attempt to thwart thieves as they try to make it out of the stadium with some stolen souvenirs.
The 'Ropolitans has reported a few stories on fans trying to smuggle out pieces of seats before. The Daily News relays the fact that three fans have been arrested at Shea this year for exactly this reason.
I wonder how many people have successfully stolen something, outside of free mustard packets, this season.
I'd love to get just something from Shea. Obviously, I don't have $869 to spend on a pair of seats, but I want something to remember her by. A few weeks ago, I picked a few items I'd like to have from Shea. I still think pieces of the foul pole would be the cheapest and most memorable item.
Good luck, NYPD, you're going to need it. I guarantee we'll be seeing more stories of people getting arrested as they try to steal some items, and some of people who were successful in their efforts.
