The Borden offer goes back to the Brooklyn Dodgers days at Ebbets field. The coupons wee on milk containers and other Bordens dairy products such as the ice cream containers. I remember going to Ebbets field a few times on these tickets .
I can also remember the mets from those early shea days. When I was a Manhattan College student, a bunch of us cut classes and went to the first Met Home game ever . We got in General admission along the 1st base line and we were up at second row from the top. Mets played the Pirates that day. They lost 8-2 and Willie Stargell hit the first homerun ever at Shea stadium.
A couple of years later they were still pretty bad. In 1966, my brother had a pair of tickets for a Cardinal Game on a Saturday night. It was about the 6th inning and Mets were ahead about 8-1 . It was a cold evening So my Brother and I decided to head on home and finish the game on TV. Jack Hamilton had just come on to relieve for the mets. WE kived in Middle Village which was nearby and only a 10 minute car ride . By the time we got home, the Cardinals were leading 9-8 and it was still the same inning we left in. Oh those mets.
