Did you feel the ground shake Sunday night? Did New York suddenly tilt from the Bronx down to Queens?
For decades, Yankees fans scoffed at Mets fans, mocking them just for loving their little team in Flushing. The big, corporate Yankees sucked up most of the oxygen in New York, and if there was any left over, only then were the scrappy Mets allowed to breathe in the exhaust.
That all changed overnight, just as Steve Cohen, the newish multibillionaire owner of the Mets franchise, promised it would. The Mets took Juan Soto from the Yankees.
Soto played only one season in the Bronx, but he helped the team get to the World Series for the first time in 15 years.
