But only one in recent years had accrued the moral authority to lay on the line what he believed everybody - East Side, West Side, all sides - needed to be doing pronto: "Mets fans, we need you guys to fill this place up. This place needs to be rockin' Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, we need your help. We need everybody to get out here, we need this place full. This is playoff baseball, this is what you guys want. Let's go! Let's Go Mets!"
Thank God that we kept this stadium. You go to a lot of new ballparks, but they don't have what we have. It's special. You know who you're sitting next to. We're never going to solve the parking thing, so let's not talk about it. We can't solve it. Every minute that we're in the car, it's worth it when we get here and watch this game.
