Who made the Mets? The fans did. The Mets drew 1.9 million fans in 1966 when they won just 66 games. The fan base was loyal and loved the team regardless of wins or losses. When the Yankees were on their downward slide after the 64 world series they drew 1.1 million and on any given day had 5,000 people in attendance. Ask someone when the became a Yankee fans and if it was in the 70's or late 90's they weren't fans they were front runners. The Mets have had a loyal fan base since their inception and they have been rewarded twice. If their fan base was that of the Yankees from 66-76 they would go broke. The Wilpons need to reward this loyalty and do what is right by the fans who have supported them through thick and thin for 57 years.
If Brodie Van wagenen makes the mistake of trading with the Yankees he will soon find himself in over his head and will be fleeced by Brian Cashman. Cashman has over inflated the abilities of his prospects for years. If you want to trade with us fork over major league talent and stop peddling the garbage that may never pan out. Wake up Brodie, quick.
