I actually find the front runners less annoying than the Born Agains. Lots of celebrities coming out of the woodwork after taking 7 or 8 years off. I get that the Wall Street crowd is going to go to the big games whether its this or their occasional love of the Knicks or even those three days where everyone loved Rutgers football. But the Born Agains are annoying. Where ya been everyone? Lots of drop shadow era merch has resurfaced since Cespedes came to town.
The Mets’ sudden turnaround has led to shifts in attendance and television viewership that suggest a narrowing popularity gap with the Yankees.
