What is the must-have food item offered at the ballpark and what makes it so good?
- "Something brought from home. It's the only thing in the entire park that's affordable."
- "Nathan's Cheese Fries. They make me happy in my mouth."
- "Carvel ice cream. It's so good because it tastes like it does when you get it at a Carvel store. The Nathan's fries, for example, taste nothing like what you'd get on the Coney Island boardwalk."
- "The beer. It makes all the other crap taste better."
- "You're kidding, right? This is Shea you're asking about."

What is the worst incident you've witnessed against an opposing fan or yourself?
- "Every year Mets and Yankees fans fight. I saw a Yankees fan brawl with a Mets fan when the Mets were playing the Pirates. Yankees fans just show up and cause trouble."
- "Yanks-Mets. Do I need to say more?"
- "Too much alcohol."
- "One time my 7-year-old son was yelled at by a drunken Yankees fan for wearing a Mets hat and shirt. Once he saw me, well, let's just say he could not run fast enough. I'll never attend another Yankees-Mets game again, especially with my children."
- "During the interleague Subway Series, things usually get out of hand in the upper deck. I have seen plenty of bottles thrown, drunken fights and ejections."

- "Best: Trade in old cap for new cap, Worst: Lanyard, Like to see: Free Parking."

- "Mets' 1986 World Series Reunion."
- "By far the best was the Ralph Kiner/Bob Murphy Bobblehead. The worst was probably SNY announcer cards that a lot of people tried to throw onto the field."
