Fireworks Night at Shea Stadium was an old tradition, and I had attended a number of them, tailgating with a group of friends. With the construction of Citi Field, the fireworks came to an end. After a three year break, the Mets introduced "Pyrotechnics Night" for 2010. Not sure what to expect, our group made plans to tailgate pre-game, then see what the night brought.
Making last minute preparations before the game.

After a particularly egregious call, Met manager Jerry Manuel argues, to no avail.

After the game (the Mets never came back after that blown call...) it was show time.

In the end, it turned out to be a very nice show, better than we were expecting, and a fun evening with friends.
