CINCINNATI — Look, there isn’t a Mets fan alive who wouldn’t exchange their team’s history for the Yankees’, because there isn’t a fan of any team in any sport that wouldn’t exchange their team’s history for the Yankees’. If the goal of rooting for a team is to watch that team win a championship, then no team — and no fan base — ever has had a more satisfying run than the Yankees.
We can get that out of the way. It’s truth.
But there is one thing you have to say about the Mets: They may not have anywhere near as many postseason appearances as the Yankees (assuming both make it this year, that would read: Yankees 52, Mets 8).
