The New York experience is like no other
"The authentic louis vuitton New York experience is like no other," Jones said. "Playing on this stage, I've always said is the most fun that you can have, whether it's at Shea Stadium or Yankee Stadium. This place holds a special place for me."
Jones hit his first career home run while playing against the Mets in Queens, and he felt the chills while standing in the same stadium six years later when the Braves faced the Mets in the first professional sporting event played in New York City after the 9/11 attacks.
The Mets presented Jones on Friday with a 3-D picture that highlighted his accomplishments at Shea Stadium, which served as the Mets' louis vuitton sale home ballpark through the end of the 2008 season. The Braves' third baseman batted .313 with 19 home runs and a .964 OPS in 88 games at Shea.
Jones' youngest son, Shea, is named after the stadium.
"A lot of the memories I have of Shea Stadium are not exactly good ones," Jones said. "But I respect the fact that I saw some amazing players do some amazing things there over the years."
The ballpark was also the birthplace of the love-hate relationship Jones has shared with Mets fans dating back to September 1999, when he almost single-handedly prevented the Mets from winning a division title to lock up his louis vuitton handbags only National League MVP Award.
