Could The Shea Apple Make It To Citi?

Marty Noble at Mets.com writes about the Home Run Apple and that it could be included in the Citifield Plans:

The Mets' new home next season may have a piece of their current home -- the Apple. No matter what, a home run apple will be installed just beyond the outfield wall -- as it is at Shea Stadium -- but this one will be left of center. And according to Mets COO Jeff Wilpon, it hasn't yet been determined whether the old one can handle the move or whether a replacement will be necessary.

That would be great if it could. I know that it is out dated and that it is an eye sore, but it holds sentimental value for us Met fans.

Citifield To Keep The Apple

At The Canadian Press they write about the Home Run Apple and how it will have it's place in Citifield:

The huge fibreglass apple that pops up when the New York Mets hit home runs will follow them to their new ballpark when it opens next year.

"The big home run apple is coming," the team's chief operating officer, Jeff Wilpon, said Tuesday during a media tour of Citi Field, the new stadium.

An apple is coming, at any rate. Mets officials said they did not know whether it would be the same fibreglass apple that has popped up like a champagne cork following Mets homers since 1980.
