WCBS 880's Tom Kaminski took some aerial photographs of Shea Stadium's dismantling. The stadium, where the last game was held on September 28, is being taken apart--and much of its belongings are for auction. Also, Forgotten NY's Kevin Walsh put together a touching tribute to Shea Stadium with some history and many of his memories: "Possibly, 1973 was my favorite year to be a Mets fan. The Mets had been moribund most of the summer, dropping 13 games under .500 at a couple of occasions. But other clubs failed to take charge and the Mets made a run, winning 24 of their last 33 to edge out the Cardinals on the last day of the season."
