When it comes to baseball pride in the Big Apple, the Yankees rule the roost, with 53 percent of local MLB fans rooting for the Bronx Bombers and 34 percent cheering the Mets, a new Quinnipiac poll has found.
The Amazin’s don’t even have home-field advantage this year, as 45 percent of baseball fans living in Queens cheer the Yankees, compared with 40 percent backing the Mets, according to the poll released Monday.
Manhattanite fans don’t really like the Mets, either, with 36 percent backing them versus 47 percent for the Yankees.
And the Yanks dominate on Staten Island, 61 to 36 percent, and in their home borough of The Bronx, 73 to 16 percent.
