"I have been very fortunate over the years to have experienced some once in a lifetime moments as a Met fan. Being on the field, in the dugout, meeting some all time greats etc... My all time favorite photo and moment was when I won a mid season contest at Shea in 2005. I answered all the baseball trivia correctly and unbeknownst to me I was then entered into a lottery for a million dollar pitch. They notified me two days before the final season game to appear at Shea to throw a "strike" for a million dollars. Not much time to prepare! What I didn't know was the "strike" meant getting that 3 1/2 inch ball in a 4 inch square hole. The end result did not yield the million bucks but instead truly a memorable moment. I missed it by about 6 inches and out of the four contestants was the only one to hit the board and come within inches. I won some great prizes, flat screen tv, a game used base and got an opportunity to see Mike Piazza on his last day as a Met and get one of his game used bats. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. The greatest gifts of all were sharing the day with my brother as my guest and this picture taken by the team photographer. Truly a phenomenal experience. - Nick"If you made the pitch today they'd offer you a chance at that minority stake that's been all the buzz. You'd just need to come up with the other $19,000,000 for the AMAZIN' perks. If you'd like to share your photo and story email it to darren@the7line.com
