In recent years, New York Mets dethroned the New York Yankees as the “Kings of New York.” You couldn’t go anywhere in New York City without seeing someone dressed in Mets gear from head to toe. Of course, the Mets signing Yoenis Cespedes and making an appearance in the 2015 World Series had something to do with it.
Like in 2000, the Mets lost the World Series in 2015, meaning they last won the World Series in 1986. However, the Mets still had the upper hand on the Yankees. They had a dominant roster while the Yankees struggled to even make it to the Wild Card game.
