ALERT: August 25th, 2000 is Italian at Shea stadium. Go Mets, Go Piazza, Go Ventura- They WON
FYI - N.Y. Mets - August 11th '99 was Italian Night at Shea Stadium last year - they won!

Regarding Italian night - NY Mets Baseball:
Attention - In 2004 Italian night was replaced with Pakistani night.
With many calls to NY Mets Shea stadium customers relations we got Italian night back. (another Homerun by Piazza by the way).
I will say however that turnover was light - Let's participate by celebrating our heritage.  Go to the game this year.
Make your calls to Shea stadium early this year.  Thanks
