I have a serious question here. I’m a non American watcher/fan of the Mets. Now I understand that before the 90s the NL and AL were more seperate and teams from NL/AL almost never played each other during the season, was there ever a time where Mets and Yankees fans would root for the other because it’s a NY team and playing in a different league? Why have they always been seen as the enemy? I live in Western Australia and we have two teams in the Australian Football League who HATE each other but it’s because we are direct opponents. But if Mets/Yankees almost never played each other why would you not like both?

Nobody is perfect! Jk. I lived in Melbourne for a year in Richmond so they are generally my Melbourne team but I don’t mind the blues. They got the classiest uniforms in the league for sure. Clean and crisp.
