Part 2/8:
One of the most striking differences between playing for the Yankees and the Mets lies in the fan base dynamics. A player noted, “New York is divided when it comes to their baseball teams.” Being a Bronx guy who played for the Yankees and later joining the Mets, he observed that each team has a firm following. Yankees fans are known for their unwavering support, while Mets fans bring their own fervor. This division extends into daily life, from casual conversations to interactions in restaurants, where fans proudly declare their allegiance as soon as they spot a player.
