Lot of people have forgotten about the golden thong

Mets do have magical moments just can’t win it all 🤞🏽

Yankees had that turtle that was hyped for like 2 weeks

Bronxie the Turtle is a Yankees example of the Grimace thing.

Mets fans have a sense of humor while Yankee fans are deadly serious about sports they aren't actually playing just watching.

It's working right? Ride the wave.

Do Yankee fans ever have fun?

The Angels had the rally monkey in 2003 I believe

Yankee fans can never stop talking about the Mets. Best team in baseball and all they can't get the Mets off their mind. The Mets being even slightly good for a week is Yankee fans worst nightmare.

It’s fun. Go back to Washington Pete

Because the Mets aren't a consistently good franchise. More times than not they are a collection of overpaid dorks and choke artists. So when they go on a hot streak and make a run, they almost always need a tuning fork of cultural and superstitious symbolism that represents their identity within the acute period of winning. Almost like how the internet nerds and losers online create their meme culture within reddit etc.

The Mets are for dorks
