New York sports are unique in ways that other cities won’t truly ever understand. Cities like Chicago know what a crosstown rivalry is like with the Cubs and White Sox occupying the same city. Now imagine that in every sport.
Right now in New York, there are already a few phenomenal individual crosstown rivalries. The Jets have Sam Darnold while the Giants have a promising young quarterback of their own in Daniel Jones. The Yankees have Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole, but the Mets have their own star duo in Pete Alonso and Jacob deGrom.
Add Igor Shesterkin and Ilya Sorokin to the list of great New York sports debates.
