Karl Ehrhardt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Ehrhardt (November 26, 1924 - February 4, 2008) was one of the New York Mets most visible fans, and an icon at Shea Stadium during the team's rocky start through the 1960's. Several times during each of many games, Ehrhardt held up large signs with sayings that reflected the Mets' performance on the field, and echoed the fans' sentiments off of it. Ehrhardt wasn't afraid to criticize the team's front office of the times, once holding up a sign labelling Shea Stadium as "Grant's Tomb", referring to the team's miserable play, and M. Donald Grant, the team Vice President.

Ehrhardt lived in the Glen Oaks section of Queens.
