It’s kind of a weird question, but in New York right now it may be a valid one. The Rangers and Islanders are in the midst of a Stanley Cup chase. The Nets are in the playoffs. The Knicks are their usual mess (Thanks James Dolan). As the Yankees get set to take on the Mets this weekend in the earliest Subway Series ever, the Mets are the it team right now.
This series dates back to 1997. The Yankees always had the bigger stars during this series. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera.
