Shea Stadium turned into amusement park

Trying to get back to a holiday feel after that last post...

Thanks to Gothamist for posting this first!

Last night, the Mets' game against the Texas Rangers was rained out due to the storm. However, the faithful--those Mets fans who stuck around while waiting to see if the game would be just be delayed--got a treat when some Rangers players decided to turn the tarp on the field at Shea Stadium into a wonderful Slip 'N Slide.

The crowd ate it up, cheering and chanting, "Let's go Rangers!"

Damn, that looks like fun...

Since most Queens lawns are now paved over, there's little chance for the average kid to have a slip and slide. Maybe Shea can offer this when the team's out of town.
