Jerry Seinfeld Says He Has No Interest in Buying Mets amid Mets Owner Drama

Jerry Seinfeld might be a lifelong New York Mets fan, but it doesn't mean he wants to buy the team.

The comedian was clear in his stance when asked by TMZ Sports if he would be interested in owning the baseball organization.

"No! The highest level of sports appreciation—particularly baseball—is a hot dog, a beer and a seat," Seinfeld said. "There's nothing higher. That's the pinnacle."

"People think that owning the team is more fun. It's actually less fun," he added.

Jeff and Fred Wilpon still intend to sell the team despite failed negotiations with Steve Cohen, a hedge-fund investor worth $14 billion, per Forbes.
