billyjoel.gifAs rumored last week, the final events at New York’s Shea Stadium will be a string of concerts by noted Yankees fan Billy Joel, which will take place on unspecified dates sometime following the Mets’ 2008 playoff run. (Well, at least the news gave me an excuse to use this picture again. Go Comets!) [Newsday]

    Name a Met fan who can fill 60,000 seats, besides Jerry Seinfeld.

    Jerry > Billy. But I mean you knew that, right?

    Julian Casablancas?

    @Nately: Keith Hernandez. His mustache alone could easily fill 100,000 seats, no problem.

    I will defend the Billy Joel Experience. He’s no Keith Hernandez, of course, but Streetlife Serenader has its moments.

    @Nately: I’m still a little bitter over Hicksville High School’s decision to waive his missing gym credit in order to let him graduate in 1992. Where was my dispensation, huh?

    @maura: Ahhh …now it come out. High school traumas strike again. I understand your outrage.

    How about a new Idolator contest? “Make Billy Joel Do 1000 Pushups”

    We can only hope that the limited edition Bobble Head Billy Joel will be sold at this event.
