Shea's message board: "You're listening to Shea's queen of melody, Jane Jarvis, on the Thomas organ"

@ricsanta1 8 жыл бұрын

+zonk42 Forgive me for being a pain in the butt, but I remember old Shea Stadium and its original scoreboard and message board -- I believe this was the actual message: "You're listening to Jane Jarvis, Shea's Queen of Melody, coming up with hits on the Thomas organ" I also remember that whenever she played the Star Spangled Banner, the lyrics were displayed one line at a time on the message board starting from the top and going to the bottom -- after the line "Were So Gallantly Streaming" was displayed, the display went back to the top with the line "And The Rocket's Red Glare" and went back to the bottom ending with the final line "And The Home Of The Brave". :^)

Hearing this brought a few tears to my eye. I’ve never been able to see the Mets play in person yet. I hope to achieve that soon.

This music plays the moment he enters her house (or ballpark) and steps up to the plate to meet them. What a moment!

I do. It wasn't always that way. Until about 1985 you actually could go up the long escalators. Then some numbskull decided after a late night game to slide down the handrail and took a fly off it. They immediately closed them forcing people to leave the stadium via the ramps. Going up, it all depended on the crowd size at times. Large crowds- open, small crowds not so

They should really have a retro-sound night where all of Jane's catchy tunes should be played. So much of it was catchy-soothing, which is the polar opposite of the blaring we hear today. You could even have a reasonably toned conversation while her stuff was playing. Though knowing the senseless sensibilities of the people in charge of such things now for the this organization, they'd probably jack it up so loud as to make it intrusive...... like every other sound they produce.

One of the reasons I don't go to ball games any more (in any sport) is the music they feel they have to blast at you constantly. It isn't the music itself, though that's bad enough. It's the fact that they won't let you have a moment's peace. Even ten seconds they have to fill with that obnoxious noise, as if you can't sit there for a moment without some distraction. Isn't the game supposed to be the focus? This all started with Frank Cashen in Baltimore and I hope he burns in hell for it.
