NEW YORK METS INFORMATIONThe New York Mets are a Major League Baseball team based in Flushing, New York. They are in the Eastern Division of the National League.Since the team is based in Queens, the Mets have a strong fan base there as well as in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island. These parts of the metro area had traditionally rooted for the Dodgers (and to a lesser degree the Giants) more than for the Yankees. Yankee fans tend to be more concentrated in the rest of the city and the remaining parts of the metropolitan area (such as northern New Jersey, Westchester County, and southwest Connecticut), though fans of both clubs are scattered throughout the tri-state area. Despite Brooklyn once having been the home base of the Dodgers, the Borough is now roughly evenly divided between the Mets and Yankees. Notable Mets fans include celebrities Ray Romano (as well as his fictional character, sportswriter Ray Barone), Jerry Seinfeld (both in real life and on his TV show), Jon Stewart, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Viggo Mortensen, Glenn Close, Paul Auster, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Vartan, Joe Quesada, Peter David, Bob Wiltfong, rock group Belle and Sebastian and Kevin James (as well as his fictional character, Doug Heffernan). The late singer-actresses Pearl Bailey and Nell Carter were also Mets fans. Former president Richard Nixon was a Shea Stadium regular during the 1980s and '90s. Husband-and-wife actors Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker have often been seen together at interleague games between the Mets and Yankees, Broderick rooting for the Mets and Parker for the Yankees. Although actor Billy Crystal is a Yankee fan, in the film City Slickers, his baseball-obsessed character Mitch Robbins wore a Mets cap. Journalist Joe Klein claims that he and a friend hung the first Met-fan banner at the Polo Grounds in 1962. The late R&B singer Luther Vandross was also a Mets fan. Current uniform colors: Blue, Orange, and Black (the orange chosen to represent the New York Giants, the blue chosen to represent the Brooklyn Dodgers). Blue and orange are also the colors of the flag of New York City. Current logo design: Intertwined 'N' and 'Y' in orange, on blue field (the NY logo is identical to that of the New York Giants, the blue field chosen because that was the color of the caps worn by the Brooklyn Dodgers). The Mets skyline logo was designed by cartoonist Ray Gatto. The shape of the insignia, with its orange stitching, represents a baseball, and the bridge in the foreground symbolizes that the Mets, in bringing back the National League to New York, represent all five boroughs. Team theme song: "Meet the Mets" (1963), by Bill Katz and Ruth Roberts Current mascot: Mr. Met Current Television outlets: Cable- SportsNet New York, Over the Air- WPIX-11 Current Radio outlet: 660 AM WFAN |
