Paul Brown “It’s April and it’s time to go out to Shea Stadium to see the Mets beat up on the National League—East, West and Central teams. Although opening day is the day before April Fool’s Day, last year we weren’t very good, we will ‘fool’ everyone, this year.”

By Rev. Austin H. Armitstead

"It’s April why do you say to your friends, Let’s go out to the ball game?"

Brian Schweigert “When someone says, “Take me out to the ball game, I think of the 7th inning stretch when everyone no matter who they are, or where they are from, sings the song together.” Pat Panzarino “It’s April-time to think baseball! Yankee fans say—”Go Yankees” on to another championship season!” Sherm Pohl “April’s here—Hurray, Hurray! Time for the Yanks to start play. I’ll cheer them on every day to stay on top all the way!” Al Molier “Although my 10 year old son is a loyal Met fan and I’m a fan of that other NY team, we love the game. Opening day goes hand in hand with the rebirth of spring and the promise of hope in and out of the ball park.” Bill Smyth “I don’t go now! It’s too cold in April to go out to Shea Stadium.”
