While another New York team has advanced to the World Series, the rest of America should know that the Mets are not the Yankees. They have different styles, different payrolls, and different rules on facial hair. These Mets don’t represent the capitalism-approach that many associate with the Yankees and are actually more representative of the working-class who worked their way to the position they’re currently at. Fourth place in their division in 2012, third place in 2013, second place in 2014, and NL East champs in 2015. That progression is something that many people, not just New Yorkers, can relate to and is just one of the reasons why you should root for these Mets.
