Remember your first game at Shea? Stony Brook University assistant director of undergraduate admissions Chris D’Orso [1] sure does. As Jason explained [2], Chris, one of our friends from the Crane Pool Forum [3], preserved a one-of-a-kind framed record of the June 12, 1982 [4] Mets’ 6-2 win over the Cardinals in peerless style. (We’ll let it slide that at the age of six, Chris was rooting for St. Louis; befitting his role in higher education community, he learned the right way to go [5] soon enough).
Isn’t this thing awesome? The clipping…the autographs..he’s even got a card for Dutch Rennert, that night’s home plate ump. Dutch Rennert!
Great job, Chris. Thanks for letting us enjoy it here.
