On the Mets beat

Have you ever flown into LaGuardia Airport and gotten a great view of Shea Stadium while a game was going on?
That happened to Mets pitcher Heath Bell on Wednesday during his flight from Syracuse after the Mets recalled him from Triple-A. He was in a plane over Shea during the seventh inning of the Mets-Phillies game when he saw Pat Burrell rounding the bases after his game-tying home run against Pedro Feliciano.
“I saw somebody running around the bases and the infielders standing around,” Bell said. “I knew it was a homer. I thought it was us.”
Bell was supposed to reach Shea by game time, but he was delayed in Syracuse when his first flight was canceled due to mechanical problems. He didn’t arrive until after the Mets’ 5-4 victory.
He’ll be flying somewhere else later Thursday: either to Miami with the Mets or back to Syracuse. The Mets will need a roster spot soon to make room for Orlando Hernandez.
UPDATE: Bell made it on the plane to Miami. Jeremi Gonzalez didn't.
