In the 62 years they have shared New York, the relationship between the Yankees and Mets has been mostly polite -- strangely polite -- with the notable exception of that jagged bat barrel Roger Clemens bounced across the path of Mike Piazza in the 2000 World Series. When the Yankees were great, the Mets were in down cycles, and when the Yankees were in competitive lulls, the Mets soared.
While they have shared stars -- Yogi Berra, Darryl Strawberry, Doc Gooden, David Cone -- they've never been in a bare-knuckled, whose-wallet-is-bigger bidding war for the same free agent.
