Tommy Agee anniversary

Loge 13 takes a retrospective look at Tommy Agee, his home run, and it's ceremonial marker on the 39th anniversary of the highest hit ball in Shea Stadium history.

From Loge 13:
This is also the last anniversary of the Agee marker. There will be no more Shea Stadium in a year so no marker necessary. I doubt the Mets will try to save this chunk of cinder block...but if they are considering it, I volunteer to have it hauled to my back yard. I'm sure my neighbors won't mind.

RIP Tommie Agee.
Check out Loge 13, it's a great site. I love reading it, and I think you would too.

I've sadly never made it up to the upper deck on this side of the stadium, but I think I'll make a conscientious effort to get over there and visit this marker sometime this season.
