The home plate from the 2007 season was given by the Mets to Mike Massimino to fuel his rivalry with fellow astronaut and Yankees fan Garrett Reisman of Morristown, N.J. Reisman carried dirt from the Yankee Stadium pitcher’s mound on the shuttle Endeavour mission in March. “We can do better than that, pal,” said Massimino, 46, of Franklin Square, L.I. “We’re flying a home plate from Shea.”

I love that my Mets & Shea are involved, but the 2007 home plate?? Couldn’t they have picked something from a different season??… Well, I wish you guys better luck than the 2007 Mets had.
