Yankee Fans I need your approval. I want to switch over to the Empire, but being a former Met fan I need your approval.

you wouldve known the game is ppd already…sorry i just cant allow this dont deny that uve have envied us for years. Im sorry that your team’s owner, Stan Kroenke Fred Wilpon has made such a mockery of your team. Maybe one day Daniel Murphy will be even as good as Brett Gardner.

I’ll never advocate switching teams like that.

Its not like I think its wrong, cuz many people who move away from home and live in a new state watch the local team and eventually become fans.

But still a true fans is one who sticks with their team through whatever is going on.

read ‘The Mick,’ watch ‘Pride of the Yankees,’ ‘61*,’ ‘The Babe,’ memorize all retired names and numbers + grasp an understanding of which players will soon join that list. Know how many pennants we have, WS titles and the years we won them. Sit with the bleacher creatures and ‘roll call’ our beloved pinstripes. Learn the lyrics to ‘ole Blue Eyes’ ‘New York, New York.’ Endure the drama of a world series game, and witness the ghosts that grace the greatest franchise in the history of world. AND THEN, AND ONLY THEN, will you become a Yankee fan, despite the lack of bloodline. Being part of the ‘empire’ is simply sporting a hat, if you want in on the fraternity that true Yankee fans enjoy, ALL OF THE ABOVE IS REQUIRED. anybody else have anything to add? lol

When Darryl left. I was (and am) an unapologetic mark for Darryl Strawberry. (Which paid off in 1996 when he came back…)

I followed both teams before, but in ’90, at a young age, I dropped the Mets like a bad habit and never looked back.

So it can be done, but I picked them when they were awful. You not so much.

I subject you to be forced to listen to 144 hours straight of Michael Kay calling Yankees losses, and only then through this self-flagellation will you be considered an Yankees padawan learner.

which I guess Wilpon is responsible for hiring and has sinfully kept on board as Mets’ GM. I personally don’t care if you decide to switch allegiance. At heart, I’m baseball fan first and a Yankees fan second. As a fan since Don Mattingly came up, I’ve had to endure the abysmal Yankee teams of the 80’s and early 90’s. Your perseverance will eventually start paying dividends as the Mets will always remain “competitive”.
