Clinton visits Shea Stadium

[diplomats]

NEW YORK - Even with Barry Bonds in the ballpark, President Bill Clinton was the biggest hit at Shea Stadium on Tuesday night.
Clinton stayed all nine innings and watched the New York Mets' 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants. He visited both clubhouses before the game, signed baseballs and shook hands with dozens of fans.
"I'm a baseball nut, what can I say?" said Clinton, flanked by several Secret Service agents.
It was Clinton's first visit to Shea since Jackie Robinson Night on April 15, 1997, when the Mets honored the man who broke baseball's color barrier with the Brooklyn Dodgers 50 years earlier. Robinson's No. 42 was retired by every team in the majors.
Clinton, looking trimmer than during his days in the White House from 1992-2000, smiled as he greeted fans up the first- and third-base lines and behind the plate. He looked ever the politician, offering a few thumbs-up and waves to fans yelling out his name.
