Shea Stadium Culture
Every major league ballpark seems to have its own culture - or aura of uniqueness. Shea Stadium is no exception. This photo album explores the elements of that culture.

Gameday Rituals
Baseball is a game of rituals. Whether it's pre-game stretching and sprints in the outfield, batting practice, the umpire's meeting at home plate, the National Anthem.......the rituals from ballpark to ballpark remain gloriously the same. This photo album accents those rituals.
