Hamilton On Broadway And The Mets/Braves game….Or The Other Way Around?

As avid Mets fans seeing a Mets/Anyone game is always at the top of the bucket list but…..Ever since hearing the buzz about the Broadway show Hamilton, seeing it in person may have nudged a tad above a Mets game.

Been waiting a long time to be here!
The Playwright Irish Pub was our choice for dinner. Only a few blocks away from the theater.
Salmon for Laurie and mushroom ravioli for me. Good stuff when washed down with a nice home brew.
We were not quite first in line but…..close enough.
Not sure what Hamilton, or any of the Founding Fathers for that matter, would have said about this religion?
An extremely nice venue to spend our romantic evening.
@ $17 a glass, one was enough to keep the smile on my face. The glass itself will continue to live on with us as a useful souvenir.
  • Let the show begin!
  • Fabulous musical numbers!

The day after our Broadway play experience we met childhood friend Larry at his place of employment in Whitestone, NY. From there it was only a few miles to Citi Field in Flushing, NY. Although the Mets were eliminated (go figure to all you Met fans out there) from post-season play a true Met fan routes for them until the bitter end. With a 3 game series against the Braves as their last games of the season, Pete Alonso, the Mets first baseman needed one more homerun to claim a share of the all time rookie home run record. We watched him hit number 52 and even got to record it for use in our blog.

Friends for over 50 years.
Laurie is sporting her Jacob deGrom jersey we were given in Port St. Lucie during spring training this year. Where has time gone?
Larry has season tickets right behind the first base dug out so we got to use the VIP entrance. Cool.
The iconic Mets apple that gets raised after each Met homerun. It was actually saved from the wrecking ball when they tore down Shea Stadium a decade ago.

The video is a bit long but it is one for the record books. Glad we were here to watch Pete tie the record of 52 homeruns in a rookie season. He did go on to hit number 53 the day after we were there. Amazing!

Poor quality video but great quality at bat!!!
