For the last few MLB seasons, there had been virtually no buzz when it came to the Subway Series. The Mets were still in their long run of futility and the Yankees had turned into a mediocre and boring team to watch. We have gone from that to the first Subway Series meeting ever between the two teams with both in first place in their respective divisions.
Also, the fact that the series had been dwindled down to four games a year took buzz away. It has returned to six games this year and I don’t know why (maybe because the Yankees are playing NL East teams in interleague), but I’m happy about it.
