For nearly half a century, Shea Stadium has been home to the New York Mets and the team's millions of adoring fans. But now it's time to say goodbye, as Major League Baseball Productions pays tribute to the magical moments and miraculous events that transformed this ballpark into one of the most famous cultural landmarks in sports. Hosted by Matthew Broderick and highlighted by exciting footage of the Mets and their 45 Amazin' seasons at Shea, this video celebrates team milestones, including two World Series Championships and four National League pennants. From sports heroes to world leaders to rock 'n' roll icons, "Shea Goodbye" vividly captures the thrills, drama and excitement that shook a stadium...and the world.
The New York Mets' 40th Anniversary Celebration was one of the highlights of the 2002 baseball season. As part of that season-long celebration, fans were invited to vote for an All-Amazin' Team of their favorite Mets, by position. On Saturday August 17, 2002, the Mets 40th Anniversary All-Amazin' Team was introduced during a special pre-game ceremony. That ceremony is captured on this limited edition home video, along with career highlights and interviews from many of the baseball greats who were honored by the fans that day at Shea.
