As Citi Field prepares for its second baseball season, it is being festooned with more images and symbols of the New York Mets' past. NY1's Roger Clark filed the following report.

The famous "Home Run Apple" from Shea Stadium has risen again. Rescued from obscurity, the apple will now greet Mets fans when they get off the 7 subway train at Citi Field.

"It will be, we think, a very popular meeting point, photo opportunity point outside the building," says New York Mets Executive Vice President Dave Howard.

The apple statue, which was moved from the bullpen plaza, is just one of the changes at the ballpark that was made in response to criticism from fans who said there wasn't enough of the club's history at the new stadium.

The baseball franchise has added more images of Mets greats around Citi Field, including entrances named after pitching legend Tom Seaver, 1969 World Championship manager Gil Hodges and original manager Casey Stengel.

Howard says the fans spoke and the team listened.

"We've addressed it, I think, in a very significant fashion, and I think Mets fans are going to be very happy and very proud," says Howard.

Other new additions include plaques on the fanwalk outside the stadium with amazing moments from the Amazins' history, from World Series victories in 1969 and 1986, to Endy Chavez leaping high above the left field wall for a catch in the 2006 National League championship series.

NY1 could not get a sneak peek inside the stadium, as it is still receiving finishing touches, but one big addition inside Citi Field is the new Mets Hall of Fame and Museum, located on the first base side of the Jackie Robinson Rotunda.

"We have beautiful new plaques for all of the Hall of Fame members. They will be displayed, but we also have a lot of artifacts, we have interactive exhibits with touchscreen technology," says Howard. "It will appeal to fans of all generations and ages."

And of course, it will appeal to Mr. Met, who hopes this season will finally be something to remember his team by, in a good way.
