John Adamovich ’75CBA, ’88HON “Being here for the first game ever at Citi Field is absolutely tremendous. This game is going to be part of a trivia question 20 years from now. When someone asks ‘Who played the first game ever at the new Mets ballpark?’ we’re going to know the answer!”Daniel Barker ’00CBA “I’m very proud of the University for getting involved with this. It’s really exciting to see all the red hats and shirts around here. This was a great idea, and I’m very happy to be a part of the St. John’s family.”Peter Barker (son of Daniel Barker and prospective St. John’s University student) “I think it’s awesome. It’s a monumental experience to see St. John’s play the first game at Citi Field. It’s a great feeling!”Lee Eisenberg ’67C “I was a student trainer so I knew many of the baseball players when I was a student. This game today is just a great experience! And as great as it is for us, just imagine the young players on the field today. It’s a memory they’ll keep forever – and so will I! Once again, St. John’s makes history.”Bill Janetschek ’84CBA “I’m here to check out the new stadium and to see a great St. John’s game. This is pretty amazing…it’s absolutely awesome.”Teresa A. Mason, Esq. ’79SVC, ’02HON “The stadium looks like a picture postcard! I can’t even put into words what it means to be a part of history. I was raised in Queens and this event is just wonderful. It’s all great!”Nancy McLernon O’Reilly ’75Ed “I was so excited to be able to come to this brand new, beautiful stadium. I came to join my sister [Patricia A. McLernon Castel, Esq. ’74Ed, ’77L, ‘04HON] and I’m thrilled to be here. I’m a Mets fan and this is truly an exciting day.”Robert F. Orlich ’69CBA, ’75MBA “This is extremely exciting. I grew up not more than three miles from the old stadium [Shea Stadium] and it’s a great thrill. It’s probably the first college game that ever sold out a major league stadium!”Eugene C. Rogers, Jr. ’93MBA “It’s amazing to get this exclusive, firsthand look at the stadium. I’m really proud of St. John’s and proud to be a part of this great day.” Peter J. Tobin ’65CBA, ’96HON “Baseball is my favorite sport and I know that St. John’s has a peerless history with baseball going back many years. To break in the new Mets field is fantastic for St. John’s and wonderful for the fans. The game is sold out, which is absolutely great for St. John’s, the Mets and New York.”
