Shea Stadium is where the New York Mets played for 44-seasons. It was the first stadium built in New York since 1923, when construction began on October 28, 1961.
- Shea = 19+8+5+1 = 33
- October is the only month with "33" Gematria
- October = 6+3+2+6+2+5+9 = 33
It opened on April 17, 1964, in a game against the Pirates.
- 4/17/1964 = 4+1+7+1+9+6+4 = 32
What do you know, two of the three degrees of Freemasonry, both of which are very important numbers in the history of the founding of this country; the same country that gave birth to the game of baseball.
Let us quickly read, courtesy of Wikipedia, about the early history of Shea Stadium.
The origins of Shea Stadium go back to the controversial west coast relocation of the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Giants which left New York without a National League presence. New York City official Robert Moses tried to interest Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley in this site as the location for a new stadium, but O'Malley refused, unable to agree on location, ownership and lease terms. O'Malley preferred to pay construction costs himself so he would own the stadium outright. He wanted total control over revenue from parking, concessions, and other events. The City, by contrast, wanted to build the stadium, rent it, and retain these ancillary revenue rights to pay off its construction bonds.[7] Additionally, O'Malley wanted to build his new stadium in Brooklyn, while Moses insisted on Flushing Meadows. When Los Angeles offered O'Malley what the City of New York wouldn't—complete and absolute ownership of the facility—he left for southern California in a preemptive bid to install the Dodgers there before a new or existing major league franchise could beat him to it. At the same time, Horace Stoneham moved his New York Giants to the San Francisco Bay Area, ensuring that there would be two west coast NL teams and preserving the longstanding rivalry with O'Malley's Dodgers that continues to this day.
In 1960, the National League agreed to grant an expansion franchise to the owners of the New York franchise in the abortive Continental League, provided that a new stadium be built. Mayor Robert Wagner, Jr. had to personally wire all National League owners and assure them that the city would build a park.
Isn't it interesting? In the history of the stadium, it was two Roberts who were paramount in its creation; NY city official Robert Moses and Mayor Robert Wagner Jr.
- Robert = 9+6+2+5+9+2 = 33
- Wagner = 5+1+7+5+5+9 = 32
- Moses = 4+6+1+5+1 = 17
- Junior = 1+3+5+9+6+9 = 33
Again, those same numbers, 32 and 33, having much to do with Scottish Rite Freemasonry, from Scotland, the home of the English language, which was invented by a Robert; Robert Wylkynson.
In the tear down of Shea stadium, one final tribute to "33" was made. Courtesy of Wikipedia, let us read about the final section of stadium, and the specific time it was taken down.
The last remaining section of seats was demolished on February 18. Fans stood in awe as the remaining structure of Shea Stadium (one section of ramps) was torn down at 11:22 that morning.[16][17]11:22...
- 11+22 = 33
- Shea Stadium is located in New York
- York = 7+6+9+11 = 33
