Agony is just one of the many words to describe New York Mets fandom.
Every big moment, every win, fans are with the team. Fans feel like a legitimate part of it having watched every game. It’s a special feeling that only sports fans can truly understand. That connection is both a blessing and a curse, and when it comes to the Mets, it always seems to lead to pain.
I was born in 1995, so I’ve seen two World Series appearances by the Mets, both of which were lost in five games. Both of which were agonizing in their own way.
