Dear New York Mets Fans,
The New York Mets are going to the World Series. Congrats! That’s a shocking statement for some to hear. The Mets have not been in the World Series since 2000 when the Yankees beat them in the Subway Series. The Mets have not won a World Series since 1986.
You guys should be elated to be back in the World Series after a 15 year drought. Some of us Yankee fans are happy to support the Mets this post season. However, you guys are not welcoming the support.
I get it. Us Yankees fans are used to winning. We don’t necessarily understand the pain of losing year after year. This season we fell short. This postseason we were unable to make it past the AL Wild Card round.
Now, many of us Yankees fans are excited to see a New York team representing in the World Series. We are use to fall baseball. This season we don’t get that luxury.
Now that the Mets are going for the world title, we want someone to cheer for. What better way to enjoy baseball then to support another New York team?
We are not trying to claim that we have been Mets fans forever. In fact, we are aware of our temporary respect for you guys. Come spring, we will be back to only enjoying Yankee baseball. At least we can admit to that.
You can call us bandwagon fans all you want, but the more support the merrier, right? It’s time for another New York baseball champion.
You can say I’m not a true Yankees fan all you want, but I am fan of the Big Apple. I respect how far you guys have come over the years. Murphy has been outstanding this postseason. His home-run streak is impressive. David Wright is a leader. His leadership qualities resemble much of Derek Jeter and that is the ultimate compliment in a Yankees fans eyes. Terry Collins has turned the team around, which deserves a tip of the hat.
I’m sorry if you aren’t welcoming of our support. But, we are here until the end of the postseason. Good luck to you guys. I wish you nothing but the best.
I can’t believe I’m writing this, but Go Mets!
Sincerely,
A Yankees Fans Wishing You Luck This World Series
