I’m kind of a Mets fan too. After living in Boston my husband and I lived in Manhattan and we both hated the Yankess soooo we’d go to Mets games:)
That was 78-80 so no danger of a World Series between them!
My son,born and raised in the Boston area,has been working in NYC for 20 years.
During the ALCS in 2004 I asked him how he kept his joy in check.
He told everyone he was a big Mets fan-—as you did.
