Sure that sits well with the Pinstripe alumni.

They never viewed him as a true Yankee anyway.

I don't recall Jeets getting that much grief for latching onto the Marlins' ownership group.

Good point.

and the Marlins, aren't the across town rivals in the same city.

Do most Yankee fans even consider the Mets a rival?

No, but the Yankee fans do not like other new yorkers that like the mets.

With the Yankees and Mets, it’s sort of a David vs Goliath rivalry. The Yankees are the loudmouthed bullying giant, while the Mets are the small humble one’s who occasionally take out their slingshot and defeat their foe. It’s the loudmothed bullying giants that keep the rivalries going. It’s pretty much baseball blasphemy to say that you like both teams in the same city, since both the teams and the fan base’s are so different in personality. If you say that in Chicago, they will look at you strange and say “You like both teams ???” as if you were some outer space monster.

If you've been a fan of a sport and a team for a very long time you have trouble understanding how you could switch allegiances, or root for the other team down the road.  But we're maybe 10% of the population.

A lot of the other 90% have less of an issue being happy for, and associating with, whatever team is nearby and doing well.  I know Yankee fans who'll root for the Mets if the Yanks are cratering to 88 wins and the Mets are doing better.

I have some relatives that are Cub fans, and they would never think about rooting for the White Sox, if their live depended on it.

It took me almost 10 years to switch from the Senators after they left and follow the Orioles, and I only wish the Nationals to do well, if the Orioles are. I would love to see a parkway world series.

I read that other investors in the group include Bradley Beal, Mason Plumlee, Travis Kielce, Joe Thomas, DeMarco Murray, and Brian Urlacher.

Sheldon Adelson (casino tycoon) is also bidding on the Mets.

If Big Cat is involved I’ll become a Mets fan.
