It’s not easy being a fan of the New York Mets.
Whether it’s questionable decisions by ownership and the front office or refusing to promote top prospects (#FreeDominicSmith), there’s nothing Amazin’ about cheering for the Mets.
Yet that’s exactly what we do. Maybe it’s because Mets fans are eternal optimists. Maybe we believe that things can’t possibly get any worse. Or maybe, deep down, we just love the torment that comes along with cheering for the orange-and-blue.
Whatever the reason, Mets fans remain loyal to their team. Loyal in spite of the fact that, far too often, the team has failed to deliver.
