Whenever we praise the Mets, the Yankees fan shrieks with indignity. Just for asserting that the Mets have had an enchanted 2015 season, I was branded the catalogue of toxic nouns. Hack. Homer. Heretic.
As if the two New York teams are mutually exclusive. There are more than enough people in the Tri-State Area (13 million) to support both clubs, and more than enough land to spawn two stadiums. But you’d never know that after Monday’s fare, when I declared the Mets fan deserves this. What a dreadful thing to say!
The Yankees have a sprawling, glittering history, but the Yankees fan sure has some self-esteem issues, especially when you consider the season you’ve enjoyed in the Bronx from the Bombers.
