Most Mets fans do not look back on the mid-to-late 1970s fondly. Let’s face it — they were not a very good team, so most of us do not look back at all. So much of what happened has been forgotten. But there is one season that should be remembered — 1975. Not necessarily for what happened on the field of play, but for that field of play itself. “When Shea Was Home” by Brett Topel tells the story of when Shea Stadium hosted four teams in the same year.
Shea was already home to the Mets and Jets.
