Shep mentions going to the Mets game the night before and seeing them play St Louis. Also he mentions the score being 5-0 at one point. The Mets played St Louis on 9-22 (won 3-1), 9-23 (Won 3-2), and 9-24 (Won 6-0). So it appears that he must have been to the 9-24 game which would date "Da Mets" at September 25, 1969. On a later show he mentions a letter someone wrote stating that he was seen in the front row at Shea stadium on the 9-26-69 6pm news during a multi-part special on the Mets.

"Can you imagine 4,000 years passing, and you're not even a memory?
Think about it, friends. It's not just a possibility. It is a certainty." - Jean Shepherd - 1975
