The '''Mets–Yankees rivalry''' is the [[Interleague play|interleague]] [[Major League Baseball rivalries|rivalry]] between New York City's [[Major League Baseball]] (MLB) teams: the [[New York Mets]] and the [[New York Yankees]]. The Mets are a member club of MLB's [[National League (baseball)|National League]] (NL) [[National League East|East]] division, and the Yankees are a member club of MLB's [[American League]] (AL) [[American League East|East]] division. It is the latest in the [[Subway Series]] of rivalries between New York-based teams. Historically, the Yankees have often been portrayed as the [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heel]] in the rivalry, whereas the Mets have garnered a long-standing reputation as the [[underdog]] [[Face (professional wrestling)|faces]], most notably during media coverage of the [[2000 World Series]].

Until interleague play started, the two teams had only met in exhibition games. Since the inception of interleague play, the two teams have played each other in every regular season since 1997. From 1999 through 2012, they have played six games per season: two three-game series (one series in each team's ballpark). In 2013-2022, the two teams met six games a season; when the AL East and NL East faced each other and four games (two at each park) the other years. In 2023, all MLB teams started facing each other; they played four games each in 2023 and 2024 and played six games in 2025.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nypost.com/2024/07/18/sports/mlb-makes-significant-change-to-2025-yankees-mets-subway-series/|title=MLB makes significant change to 2025 Yankees-Mets Subway Series

===Background and formation of Mets===
The Mets–Yankees rivalry has its origins in the histories of the [[Brooklyn Dodgers]], [[New York Giants (baseball)|New York Giants]], and [[History of the New York Yankees|Yankees]], the three [[Major League Baseball]] teams of New York City from 1903 to 1957.<ref name="RivalryRoots">{{cite news|title=Back to the future: a New York baseball turf fight|date=October 5, 1999|first=Hal|last=Bock|agency=Associated Press}}</ref> For most of that time, the Giants played in [[Manhattan]], the Dodgers in [[Brooklyn]], and the Yankees in [[the Bronx]].

Throughout their time in New York, the three teams chronicled a fierce intra-city rivalry. The [[Dodgers–Giants rivalry]] was formed by both teams' competition for dominance in the [[National League (baseball)|National League]], exemplified by [[Bobby Thomson]]'s [[Shot Heard 'Round the World (baseball)|Shot Heard 'Round the World]] in the [[1951 National League tie-breaker series]].<ref name="RivalryRoots"/> The Yankees, as the city's only [[American League]] team, would form the [[Giants–Yankees rivalry]] and [[Dodgers–Yankees rivalry]] around their multiple [[Subway Series]] competitions with the two teams, where the Yankees would compile a 10–3 record in the thirteen all-New York [[World Series]].<ref name="RivalryRoots"/>

However, in {{mlby|1958}}, both of New York's National League teams moved to [[California]], the Giants to [[San Francisco]] to become the [[San Francisco Giants]], and the Dodgers to [[Los Angeles]] to become the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]]. The Yankees were New York City's only Major League Baseball team until from 1958–{{mlby|1962}}, when the expansion Mets joined the National League. The Mets sought to create a fan base from fans of the departed National League teams, and adopted the Giants' NY insignia in the Giant color of orange set against a cap of Dodger blue, colors that also adorn the New York City flag and coat of arms. The Mets played their first two seasons in the Giants' old stadium, the [[Polo Grounds]], before moving into [[Shea Stadium]] in the borough of [[Queens]].

===Mayor's Trophy===
Before the creation of [[interleague]] play, teams from the National League never played teams from the American League in official games except during the World Series. The teams occasionally met in spring training exhibition games and played 19 times in the Mayor's Trophy Game, an in-season exhibition game, every year from 1963 through 1979, and then again in 1982 and 1983; the Yankees posted a record of 10–8–1 over the Mets in the Mayor's Trophy contests.<ref>{{cite news|title=Yankees-Mets Spring Series|newspaper=The New York Times|date=December 6, 1989|page=D30}} {{cite web|last=Snedeker|first=Jim|url=https://www.ultimatemets.com/mayorstrophy.php|title=The Rise and Demise of the Mayor's Trophy Game|date=2016|access-date=November 5, 2023|website=Ultimate Mets Database}}</ref>

The Mayor's Trophy games were played primarily to benefit sandlot baseball in the city, with proceeds going to the city's Amateur Baseball Federation.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees-mets-subway-series-mayors-trophy-game-wa17h3ts|title=Before the Subway Series, the Mets and Yankees played in the Mayor's Trophy Game|last=Best|first=Neil|newspaper=Newsday|date=July 25, 2022|accessdate=June 1, 2024}}</ref> After dwindling interest and public bickering between the owners of both teams, the Mayor's Trophy Game was discontinued following the 1983 season. It was revived again as a pre-[[Opening Day]] series titled the "Mayor's Challenge" and held in 1989.

==1997–1999: Interleague regular season play begins==
===1997–1998: First official games===
[[File:Yankees-Mets June 16, 1997 (cropped).jpg|thumb|The first official Mets{{ndash}}Yankees game on June 16, 1997]]
In {{by|1997}}, Major League Baseball scheduled official regular season games between the American and National Leagues for the first time. On June 16, the Mets and Yankees played their first official game at Yankee Stadium, which the Mets won 6–0 behind [[Dave Mlicki]].<ref>{{cite news|title=The First Brag Belongs to Mlicki and the Mets|date=June 17, 1997|first=Murray|last=Chass|newspaper=New York Times|page=B9|author-link=Murray Chass}}</ref> The Yankees won the next two games for a series win. The Mets acquired [[Mike Piazza]] for the 1998 season and made a run for the playoffs but were eliminated in the last regular game series of the season by the Atlanta Braves. The Yankees won that year's interleague series at Shea Stadium two games to one and would also win the [[1998 World Series]], the first of three straight titles for them. David Cone won 20 games in 1998 for the Yankees, 10 years after he accomplished the same feat for the Mets, becoming the only player to win 20 games for both teams.<ref>{{cite web |title=David Cone Stats |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/coneda01.shtml}}</ref>

These interleague games between the Mets and Yankees would come to be referred to as a [[Subway Series]], extending the use of that phrase outside the historical context of an all-New York World Series.

===1999: Both teams reach the playoffs===
In 1999, Major League Baseball expanded Interleague play, allowing the Mets and Yankees to host a series at their home stadiums. At Shea, the Mets won their first series against the Yankees, 2 games to 1, though the regular season series was tied by virtue of a Yankees series win (2–1) at Yankee Stadium earlier that year. That year marked the first time both teams reached the playoffs in the same season, though the Mets needed an [[1999 National League Wild Card tie-breaker game|extra game]] for their first playoff appearance since losing the [[1988 National League Championship Series]].<ref>{{cite news|title=The Mets Eliminate Cincinnati, The Doubts and the Frustration|date=October 5, 1999|first=Judy|last=Battista|newspaper=New York Times|page=A1}}</ref>

Both the Mets and Yankees reached their respective League Championship Series and played their respective rivals. The Mets were defeated by their [[Braves–Mets rivalry|division rival]] [[Atlanta Braves]] in [[1999 National League Championship Series|their LCS]],<ref name="2000WorldSeries">{{cite book |title=The subway series: the Yankees, the Mets and a season to remember |publisher=The Sporting News |year=2000 |isbn=0-89204-659-7 |location=St. Louis, Mo.}}</ref> while the Yankees defeated [[Yankees – Red Sox rivalry|longtime rival]] [[Boston Red Sox]] in [[1999 ALCS|that year's ALCS]]. The Yankees then swept the Braves in the [[1999 World Series]] for their 25th franchise title.

==2000: World Series meeting==
{{main|2000 World Series}}
During the regular season on July 8, 2000, the Yankees defeated the Mets by identical 4–2 scores in both ends of an unusual day-night doubleheader. With the first game played at [[Shea Stadium]] and the nightcap at [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]], it was the first time since {{by|1903}} that two teams played two games in different stadiums on the same day. [[Dwight Gooden]] won the first game with a six inning effort in his first start since returning to the Yankees. [[Roger Clemens]] won the nightcap.<ref name="july8a">[https://archive.today/20130119172902/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/2000/world_series/news/2000/10/19/season_series_ap/ Mets-Yankees season series recap] at sportsillustrated.cnn.com, URL accessed January 1, 2011. [https://web.archive.org/web/20121103182559/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/baseball/mlb/2000/world_series/news/2000/10/19/season_series_ap/ Archived] 01-01-11</ref> However, in the second game of that double header, an event occurred that made the rivalry between the two teams more contentious. Clemens hit Mets' star [[Mike Piazza]] in the helmet with an inside fastball, causing Piazza to suffer a [[concussion]] and placing him on the disabled list.<ref name="july8b">[https://web.archive.org/web/20100524113600/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/gallery/featured/GAL1155798/3/8/index.htm Interleague Play Memorable Moments (Photo 3 of 8)] at sportsillustrated.cnn.com, URL accessed January 1, 2011.

The Mets and Yankees returned to the playoffs that year and won their respective pennants, meeting in the [[2000 World Series]] for their first championship contest. It was the Yankees' fourth appearance in five years and the Mets' first appearance since winning the title in {{wsy|1986}}. It was the first [[Subway Series]] World Series since {{wsy|1956}}. Game 1 went to extra innings in what was then the longest World Series game of all time, with the Yankees winning on a walk-off hit by former Met [[José Vizcaíno]].

Controversy ensued in Game 2 when Yankees pitcher [[Roger Clemens]] faced Mets catcher [[Mike Piazza]] for the first time since the hit-by-pitch earlier that season. In the match-up, Piazza shattered his bat after fouling off one of Clemens' pitches, and the splintered bat head hurtled towards the mound. Clemens threw the bat head towards the baseline and nearly hit Piazza who had been running down the foul line. The incident caused both benches to clear. The Yankees won the game 6–5.

The Mets won Game 3, snapping the Yankees' fourteen-game winning streak in World Series play dating back to 1996 and Yankees hurler Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez's previously undefeated postseason record (6–0). However, this would prove to be the only high point for the Mets. [[Derek Jeter]] hit a home run on the first pitch of Game 4, immediately shifting momentum back to the Yankees who would win the game. Footage of this home run currently serves as the background for the title screen of YES Network's "[[Yankeeography]]" series. Despite no game in the series being decided by more than two runs, the Yankees would only require five games to beat the Mets. [[Al Leiter]], a former Yankees prospect, would take the mound for the Mets in Game 5 and lose. The Yankees clinched their third straight World Series championship when Mariano Rivera got Mike Piazza to fly out for the final out of Game 5.

[[World Series MVP]] Derek Jeter said of the Mets: "In my opinion, the Mets were the toughest team we have played in my five years here. Every one of these games could have gone either way. They could have given up after [losing] the first two games, but they never quit. You can't say enough about the New York Mets."<ref>{{cite web|last = Schmuck|first = Peter|title = Threepeat|publisher = Baltimore Sun|date = October 27, 2000|url = https://www.baltimoresun.com/2000/10/27/threepeat/|access-date = October 15, 2011}}</ref>

This World Series win brought a sense of revenge for [[Roger Clemens]], because he won the World Series in the same stadium; he had previously lost it in {{wsy|1986}} while with the Red Sox. Members of the Mets' 1986 team threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the clinching game.<ref>{{cite news|quote=Briefly: Members of the New York Mets' 1986 World Series champions&mdash;catcher [[Gary Carter]], first baseman [[Keith Hernandez]], outfielders [[Lenny Dykstra]] and [[Mookie Wilson]] and pitcher [[Ron Darling]]&mdash;took part in the ceremonial first pitch.|title=Yanks' fans celebrate as Mets' mourn|date=October 27, 2000|newspaper=USA Today|page=6C}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Mets invoke grit of 1986 champs.|date=October 27, 2000|first=Gary|last=Graves|newspaper=USA Today}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=Ex-Phillie Dykstra Still a Mets Dude|date=October 27, 2000|first=Jim|last=Salisbury|newspaper=Philadelphia Inquirer|page=D1}}</ref>

The 12.4 television rating and 21 share of the 2000 World Series was the worst in history when it was played.<ref name=Ratings>{{cite news|title=Subway Series the Lowest-Rated|date=October 27, 2000|first=Howard|last=Fendrich|agency=Associated Press}}</ref> For the Mets, the 12.4 rating was less than half of what they were when during their previous appearance, when Game 7 drew a 38.9 rating and 55 share.

==2001–2008: The rivalry continues in the 21st century==

The 2000 championship was the Yankees' last title until their [[2009 World Series]] win. Since their appearance in 2000, the Mets would have several losing seasons until the emergence of [[David Wright]] and [[José Reyes (shortstop)|José Reyes]].

In {{mlby|2001}}, there was a moment of peace in the rivalry in the aftermath of [[September 11 attacks|the attacks in New York City]]. During the weekend of September 21–23, [[Shea Stadium]] hosted the first professional sporting event in New York City since the attacks when the Mets hosted the [[Atlanta Braves]] while [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]] hosted a special memorial service titled "Prayer for America."

On June 15, {{mlby|2002}}, Roger Clemens faced the Mets for the first time at Shea Stadium since the Piazza controversy. Anticipation mounted about retaliation against Clemens. Mets manager [[Bobby Valentine]] chided Clemens by saying he wore a "skirt" when compared to past pitchers who threw hard at people like [[Bob Gibson]] and [[Don Drysdale]] because Clemens did not have to bat in the American League. When the game arrived, Clemens was forced to bat and Mets pitcher [[Shawn Estes]] attempted to hit Clemens in retaliation but instead threw a pitch behind Clemens, prompting the home plate umpire to warn both benches. Estes later homered off of Clemens as the Mets won the game 8–0.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://articles.nydailynews.com/2000-10-19/sports/18145129_1_beaning-of-mike-piazza-ancient-history-feelings | archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701153025/http://articles.nydailynews.com/2000-10-19/sports/18145129_1_beaning-of-mike-piazza-ancient-history-feelings | url-status=dead | archive-date=July 1, 2012 | location=New York | work=Daily News | first=T.J. | last=Quinn | title=Still Steamed Over Beaning Rocket Feels Red Glare Of Angry Mets | date=October 19, 2000}}</ref>

In {{mlby|2003}}, the Yankees become the first team to sweep the season series, winning all six games, including a two-park day-night doubleheader. In {{mlby|2004}}, however, the Mets won the season series for the first time, going 4–2 and sweeping the three games at [[Shea Stadium]].

In 2005, the Mets signed Manager [[Willie Randolph]], who coached with the Yankees for over a decade. Randolph played much of his career with the Yankees and also played for the Mets before retiring as a player. Because of his history with the Yankees championship teams of the 70s (as a player) and the 90s (as a coach), he holds a very cordial relationship with Yankees fans despite his tenure with the Mets organization, as noted by a [[Subway (restaurant)|Subway]] (a pun on the restaurant's name and the Subway Series) commercial featuring him and former Yankees manager [[Joe Torre]], who had managed the Yankees during their most recent dynastic run. Torre had also been associated with the Mets as they were the last team he ever played for and the first team he ever managed. On August 2, 2008, less than two months after his abrupt and controversial dismissal as Mets manager, Randolph was greeted with a [[standing ovation]] by the Yankee Stadium crowd when he appeared in a Yankees uniform for the [[Old-Timers' Day|Old-Timers' Game]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080802&content_id=3240619&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080806144844/http://newyork.yankees.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080802&content_id=3240619&vkey=news_nyy&fext=.jsp&c_id=nyy|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 6, 2008|title=Randolph returns for Yanks 'reunion'|date=August 2, 2008|first=Bryan|last=Hoch|work=Yankees.MLB.com}}</ref>

On June 26, 2005, the Mets won their first series at Yankee Stadium and were three outs from a sweep when [[Jason Giambi]]'s bases-loaded single off of [[Braden Looper]] in the ninth drove home the tying and winning runs for the Yankees, who forced a season series split with the Mets.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYA/NYA200506260.shtml|title=Sunday, June 26, 2005 8:09PM, Yankee Stadium II|work=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>

On May 19, 2006, in the first Subway Series of that year at Shea, the Yankees took the lead three times in the first four innings, but the Mets rallied each time against [[Randy Johnson]] and the game was tied 6–6 going into the bottom of the ninth. With two outs and runners on first and second, David Wright drove home the winning run for the Mets with a single off of Yankees' closer [[Mariano Rivera]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200605190.shtml|title=Friday, May 19, 2006 7:10PM, Shea Stadium|work=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>

On May 20, 2006, less than 24 hours after the Mets' comeback win, [[Pedro Martínez]] and [[Duaner Sánchez]] kept the Yankees scoreless for eight innings while the Mets scored four runs off of [[Mike Mussina]]. In the top of the ninth, however, closer [[Billy Wagner]], who pitched a perfect ninth the night before to get the win, gave up four runs to tie the game and force extra innings. In the top of the 11th, [[Andy Phillips (baseball)|Andy Phillips]] singled in the go-ahead run for the Yankees while Mariano Rivera pitched two shutout innings for the win.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN200605200.shtml|title=Saturday, May 20, 2006 1:25PM, Shea Stadium|work=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>

History would be made at the [[2006 Major League Baseball All-Star Game]] when two positions on both teams are manned by players from teams of the same city. [[David Wright]] and [[José Reyes (shortstop)|José Reyes]] started at third base and shortstop respectively for the National League while [[Alex Rodriguez]] and [[Derek Jeter]] started at the same respective positions for the American League. Both teams in {{by|2006}} finished at the top of their division in the same season for the first time in history. For the Yankees, this was their ninth straight division title, while the Mets won their first division title since [[1988 New York Mets season|1988]]. Despite sharing baseball's best regular season record (97–65), they would have disappointing postseasons as both lost en route to the two teams that eventually met in that year's [[2006 World Series|World Series]], the [[Detroit Tigers]] and [[St. Louis Cardinals]].

The teams' inverse success relationship was highlighted in {{by|2007}}. On May 29, the Yankees were tied for last place and 14.5 games back of the [[Boston Red Sox]] while the Mets were in first place ahead of the [[Atlanta Braves]] by four games, with the lead being as high as seven in mid-September. A late season meltdown led to the Mets being eliminated from playoff contention, losing the NL East title to the [[Philadelphia Phillies]] on the last day of the season. On the other hand, the Yankees, though unable to finish first in the AL East for the first time since 1997, rebounded from their losing ways and clinched their 13th consecutive playoff berth.

In an article written in the ''[[New York Daily News]]'' on March 25, 2008, Alex Rodriguez said how he regretted signing with the [[Texas Rangers (baseball)|Texas Rangers]] (the team the Yankees acquired him from) in the first place and wished he had signed with the Mets rather than Texas. Rodriguez grew up a Mets fan and of former Mets first baseman turned announcer [[Keith Hernandez]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://jockbio.com/Bios/ARod/ARod_bio.html |title=Alex Rodriguez |publisher=Jockbio |date=1975-07-27 |access-date=2010-08-04 |archive-date=2010-08-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100820044819/http://www.jockbio.com/Bios/ARod/ARod_bio.html |url-status=dead}}</ref> Rodriguez stated how he listened to his agent [[Scott Boras]] about taking more money instead and did not want to make the same mistake of not being on a team he liked playing for by leaving the Yankees.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Harper |first1=John |title=A-Rod only regrets the mets |work=New York Daily News |date=25 March 2008 |pages=44–45}}</ref>

[[Image:YankeeSheaDay 033.jpg|thumb|upright|A Subway Series game at [[Shea Stadium]] on June 27, 2008, with [[Citi Field]] under construction beyond the outfield]]
On June 27 of that year, in the first game of a two-stadium, day-night doubleheader against the Yankees, [[Carlos Delgado]] had 9 RBIs (including a grand slam) in a 15–6 victory for the Mets, setting a team record for most RBIs in a single game and tying the record for most RBIs in a single game by a visiting player at [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]]. For just the second time, the Mets won the season series against the Yankees, 4–2, including the Mets' only sweep at [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|the old Yankee Stadium]].

The 2008 season marked the first time since 1993 that both the Yankees and Mets failed to qualify for postseason, the first time for the Yankees since that year and the second straight year where the Mets were eliminated on the last day of the season. It was also the last year both teams played at their old respective ballparks, [[Yankee Stadium (1923)|Yankee Stadium]] and [[Shea Stadium]]. [[Yogi Berra]], who played for both teams and managed both teams, was present at the closing ceremonies of both stadiums. Both teams finished with the same record (89–73) that year.

==2009–2019: New stadiums==
The {{mlby|2009}} season was the first year that both teams played in their new stadiums, Mets at [[Citi Field]] and the Yankees at the new [[Yankee Stadium]]. The Yankees took it one step further and opened their new stadium with their 27th World Series championship against the [[Philadelphia Phillies]], the [[2008 World Series|defending champions]], becoming the first team to inaugurate two stadiums with World Series wins. However, this is the most recent World Series championship by a team from New York City.<ref name="2010sDecade"/>

On June 12, 2009, both teams played each other for the first time at the new Yankee Stadium. The game had several lead changes, including [[Mariano Rivera]] giving up the go-ahead run to the Mets in the 8th. In the bottom of the 9th, after Derek Jeter stole 2nd base and [[Mark Teixeira]] was intentionally walked, the Mets new closer [[Francisco Rodríguez (Venezuelan pitcher)|Francisco Rodríguez]] (K-Rod) paired off against Alex Rodriguez (A-Rod). In what seemed to be a routine pop with two outs, Mets 2nd baseman and three time [[Rawlings Gold Glove Award|Gold Glove]]-award winner [[Luis Castillo (second baseman)|Luis Castillo]] dropped the ball. Teixeira wound up scoring the winning run all the way from first on the error, giving the Yankees a 9–8 victory. It would prove to be the Yankees' 7th walk off game that season and the first statistical blown save for K-Rod as a Met.

After the game, injured Yankees pitcher [[Brian Bruney]] criticized K-Rod and his animated behavior on the mound to reporters: "[It] couldn't have happened to a better guy on the mound, either", said Bruney. "He's got a tired act. ... He gets what he deserves, man. I just don't like watching the guy pitch. I think it's embarrassing." Rodriguez responded, "Instead of sending a message in the paper, next time when he sees me at [[Citi Field]], come up to me and say it. Don't be sending a message to the media. I don't even know who that guy is, somewhere in Double-A and not even pitching one full season."<ref>{{cite web | url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20090613&content_id=5308050&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb|title=K-Rod, Bruney trade barbs over antics |work=MLB.com|date=June 13, 2009}}</ref> Two days later, Francisco Rodriguez confronted Bruney during batting practice and the two were separated by teammates. The Yankees shut out the Mets 15–0 in the biggest blowout in the history of the series, tagging Mets ace Johan Santana for nine runs in {{frac|3|1|3}} innings, the most Santana has ever allowed in his career.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/mets/2009/06/k-rod-bruney-hostility-continu.html |title=K-Rod, Bruney hostility continues |date=June 14, 2009 |first=Adam |last=Rubin |work=New York Daily News |publisher=nydailynews.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090616110357/http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/mets/2009/06/k-rod-bruney-hostility-continu.html |archive-date=June 16, 2009}}</ref>

On June 26, 2009, the two teams played each other for the first time at Citi Field. Alex Rodriguez hit his 564th home run, moving past [[Reggie Jackson]] into 11th place on the career home run list. The Yankees defeated the Mets 9–1 after the Mets committed three errors that led to four runs in the second inning - the most ever against the Yankees. Two days after that, Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who entered the game to face a batter in the 8th inning, batted against Mets closer Francisco Rodriguez at the top of the 9th inning. Rivera drew a walk with the bases loaded, forcing home [[Brett Gardner]] to earn his first career [[Run batted in|RBI]]. Rivera would go on to finish the game and earn his 500th career save, as the Yankees swept the series at Citi Field.

May 22, 2010 had the Mets win their first Subway Series game at Citi Field with a 5–3 victory over the Yankees. Countering that, on June 20, 2010, the Yankees earned their 9,500th franchise victory with a 4–0 win over the Mets. [[Mark Teixeira]] provided the only runs of the game with a third-inning grand slam off of [[Johan Santana]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pinstripealley.com/2010/6/20/1527339/new-york-yankees-4-new-york-mets-0|title=New York Yankees 4, New York Mets 0: What A Grand Win|date=June 20, 2010|author=Brandon C.|work=PinstripeAlley.com}}</ref>

2011 started off with a trade between the two teams. On January 3, the Yankees signed left-handed relief pitcher [[Pedro Feliciano]] away from the Mets. Under the rules of the collective bargaining agreement of the time, the Yankees had to compensate the Mets with a draft pick. The Mets would use this draft pick to get pitcher [[Michael Fulmer]]. Feliciano would immediately go on the disabled list for the Yankees due to his overuse by the Mets during his career. Setbacks in surgery would prevent him from ever throwing a pitch for the Yankees during the entirety of the two-year contract.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/8865866/pedro-feliciano-back-new-york-mets-minor-league-deal |title=Pedro Feliciano back with New York Mets on minor league deal – ESPN New York |publisher=Espn.go.com |date=2013-01-21 |access-date=2013-04-22}}</ref>

During the July 3rd game between the two teams, the Mets, down to their final strike and on the verge of getting swept at Citi Field by the Yankees for the second time in three years, tied the final game of that year's Subway Series against [[Mariano Rivera]] in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single from [[Ronny Paulino]]. In 23 previous save opportunities against the Mets, spanning the regular season and the [[2000 World Series]], Rivera had converted 22<ref name="TimesRivera" /> (his only previous blown save against the team was on July 10, 1999<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN199907100.shtml |title=July 10, 1999 New York Yankees at New York Mets Box Score and Play by Play |publisher=Baseball-Reference.com |date=1999-07-10 |access-date=2013-04-22}}</ref>).

On July 12, 2011, days after gaining entry into the [[3,000 hit club]], Yankees shortstop [[Derek Jeter]] elected to sit out of the [[2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game]] citing "physical and emotional exhaustion" and recovery from a recent visit to the disabled list. Jeter, who throughout his career had been praised by people in and out of baseball for good behavior, was criticized by some players and officials including Mets outfielder [[Carlos Beltrán]]. Beltrán stated that "I do believe, as a ballplayer, if you have no injuries, you should be here...the fans are the ones that vote for you and want to see you here." Mets shortstop [[José Reyes (shortstop)|José Reyes]], who also was injured, also opined on the incident saying "I want to come no matter what happens."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/6761243/new-york-yankees-derek-jeter-skips-all-star-festivities-creates-stir|title=Derek Jeter All-Star decision causes stir|date=July 12, 2011|work=ESPNNewYork.com}}</ref>

The two teams met again in June 2012. On June 8, after pitching the first no-hitter in Mets history in his previous start, [[Johan Santana]] gave up a career-worst four home runs to the Yankees in the first Subway Series game of the year as the Mets, who were held hitless by [[Hiroki Kuroda]] until the sixth, lost 9–1. Two days later, after [[Rafael Soriano]] blew his first save of the year by surrendering an RBI double to [[Ike Davis]] in the top of the ninth, [[Russell Martin (baseball)|Russell Martin]] hit a home run in the bottom of the inning off of [[Jon Rauch]] to give the Yankees a 5–4 win and first-ever sweep of the Mets at the new Yankee Stadium.

On June 22, one day before first pitch between the two teams at Citi Field, Mets closer [[Frank Francisco]] taunted the Yankees by calling them chicken. Francisco's teammates greeted him in the Mets club house the next day with the [[Chicken Dance]] and put up a picture of Derek Jeter's head on the body of a chicken. "I can't wait to strike out those chickens, I want to strike out the side against them. I've done it before." Francisco would later go on to say "I make a simple comment, just that they complain a lot&mdash;for every call, for everything, I thought it was funny. I didn't expect to make a big deal."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=8084562&type=story|title=Frank Francisco: Yanks 'chickens'|date=June 23, 2012|first=Adam|last=Rubin|publisher=ESPN.com|work=ESPNNewYork.com}}</ref> Although he would not strike out the side and allowed two base runners, Francisco did notch the save in the first game of the series before going on the disabled list. Mets reliever [[Tim Byrdak]] would go as far to bring a live chicken into the clubhouse and named it "Little [[Jerry Seinfeld]]" in honor of a ''[[Seinfeld]]'' episode. The chicken was used as an unofficial mascot and was donated to an animal farm sanctuary in upstate New York a few days later. Francisco later admitted that he himself raised chickens and is an expert about them.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/mets-chicken-mascot-weekend-finds-home-life-article-1.1101741 |title=NY Mets' 'Little Jerry Seinfeld,' chicken mascot for weekend, finds a new home for life |publisher=NY Daily News |access-date=2013-04-22 |location=New York}}</ref> 

Despite the Mets winning the opener, the Yankees wound up winning the next two games, including halting Mets pitcher [[R. A. Dickey]]'s scoreless inning streak of {{frac|44|2|3}} innings to win the series. Yankees outfielder [[Nick Swisher]] playfully quipped at the end of the series "Who's chicken now?"<ref>{{cite web |url=http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=320624121 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626033145/http://scores.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=320624121 |url-status=dead |archive-date=June 26, 2012 |title=New York Yankees vs. New York Mets – Recap – June 24, 2012 – ESPN |publisher=[[ESPN]] |date=2012-06-24 |access-date=2013-04-22}}</ref>

For the first time ever on [[Opening Day]], both teams played their first game in New York on April 1, 2013.<ref>{{cite news|title=Dueling home openers Monday at Mets' Citi Field and Yankee Stadium offer historic perspective on New York baseball|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/mets-yanks-host-crosstown-home-openers-1956-article-1.1304143#ixzz2PF4evZi1|access-date=1 April 2013 | work=Daily News}}</ref>

In his last regular-season game ever at Citi Field on May 28, Mariano Rivera was honored by Mets owner [[Jeff Wilpon]] and threw out the first pitch of the game to former Mets closer [[John Franco]]. Young Mets phenom [[Matt Harvey]], who grew up a Yankees fan, had an impressive line – 8IP 6H 1ER 0BB 10K – but left with a 1–0 deficit. Rivera would come into the game in the bottom of the 9th and promptly give up a double to Mets second baseman [[Daniel Murphy (baseball)|Daniel Murphy]]. David Wright would get another hit to drive in Murphy and contribute to Rivera's first blown save of the year. The next batter Lucas Duda would get the game-winning hit off Rivera to give him the first blown save of his career where he did not record at least one out. The Mets swept the season series for the first time in 2013.

That July, Robinson Canó of the Yankees and David Wright of the Mets were named captains for the All-Star Game home run derby at Citi Field. In December, the Mets agreed to terms with outfielder [[Curtis Granderson]] on a four-year contract worth $60 million on December 6, 2013.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2013/12/06/curtis-granderson-new-york-mets-four-years-60-million/3891061/ | work=USA Today | first1=Bob | last1=Nightengale | title=Crosstown traffic: Curtis Granderson joining Mets | date=December 6, 2013}}</ref> Granderson played for the Yankees from 2010 to 2013. "A lot of the people I've met in New York have always said that, 'True New Yorkers are Mets fans,'" said Granderson during a press conference making the deal official. "So I'm excited to get a chance to see them all out there." Around the same time, the Yankees agreed to sign Carlos Beltrán, who was a Met from 2005 to 2011.

In 2015, both teams qualified for the postseason. The Yankees lost to the [[Houston Astros]] in the [[2015 American League Wild Card Game|American League Wild Card Game]], while the Mets lost the [[2015 World Series|World Series]] to the [[Kansas City Royals]], the only time during the 2010s decade that either the Yankees or the Mets appeared in a World Series.<ref name="2010sDecade">{{cite news|last=Kepner|first=Tyler|title=For the Yankees, Good Is Not Good Enough in the Age of the Astros|work=The New York Times|date=October 20, 2019|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/20/sports/baseball/yankees-astros.html|access-date=October 27, 2019|quote=The Yankees won the World Series in {{wsy|2009}}, but the 2010s will end without a pennant, the first time that has happened since the 1910s.}}</ref> This loss made the 2010s decade the first decade since the 1910s that a team from New York City failed to win a World Series.<ref name="2010sDecade"/>

In September 2017, due to [[Hurricane Irma]], the [[Tampa Bay Rays]] had their series with the Yankees relocated to Citi Field. In reaction to a home run hit by Yankees third baseman [[Todd Frazier]], Mets fan Gary Dunaier was caught on camera with a stern face and gesturing a thumbs down to protest the Yankees' success. The video of the incident went viral and Frazier and the Yankees would later adopt the thumbs down gesture as a rallying cry celebration to close out their season and during their playoff run.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ftw.usatoday.com/2017/09/thumbs-down-yankees-guy-mets-fan-mlb|title=Thumbs Down Yankees Guy reveals that he's a diehard Mets fan|date=20 September 2017}}</ref> During the following off-season, Frazier would sign with the Mets.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/todd-frazier-thumbs-thumbs-guy-meet-article-1.3768221|title = Todd Frazier gives thumbs up to 'Thumbs Down Guy' as the two finally meet|website = [[New York Daily News]]}}</ref>

==2020–present: Both teams become postseason contenders==

In 2020, hedge fund manager and billionaire [[Steve Cohen (businessman)|Steve Cohen]], purchased the Mets, ushering in a new era of competitiveness for New York City baseball. Cohen has promised an increase in payroll to turn the Mets into one of the highest-spending teams in the league, drawing comparisons to former Yankees owner [[George Steinbrenner]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Brown |first1=Maury |title='King' Steve Cohen Leads The Mets On An $806 Million Free-Agent Spending Splurge |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/maurybrown/2022/12/21/king-steve-cohen-the-8062m-free-agent-spending-splurge-on-the-mets/?sh=2e9be144633b |website=Forbes}}</ref>

During the 2020 season, the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] resulted in the Mets playing 2 "home" games at Yankee Stadium against the Yankees. The Mets won their first home game by the score of 4–3, as [[Amed Rosario]], the Mets shortstop, hit a walk-off home run at Yankee Stadium. After the game, Rosario told reporters "I forgot we were the home team and that was the end of the game,” noting the unique characteristics of that season for both teams.<ref>{{cite web |last1=DiComo |first1=Anthony |title=Rosario, Mets walk off on Yanks' home turf |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/amed-rosario-hits-walk-off-homer-at-yankee-stadium |website=MLB.com}}</ref> As a result, Rosario became the first visiting player since [[Ed McKean]] of the [[St. Louis Perfectos]] in 1899 to hit a walk-off home run in the opposing team's ballpark.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Yankees Lose Seventh Straight on Walk-Off Homer at Yankee Stadium |language=en |work=Sports Illustrated |url=https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees/mlb/yankees/news/yankees-lose-seventh-straight-on-walk-off-home-run-yankee-stadium-mets |access-date=2023-10-03}}</ref>

Two days later, on August 30, the Yankees had a surprising victory of their own, as they came back from 7–2 down in the final inning to win the game 8–7 in extra innings. The Yankees were given a 1 in 500 chance of coming back in that game, and a walk off single by third baseman [[Gio Urshela]] in extra innings helped the Yankees finish the comeback.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-08-31 |title=Yankees complete crazy comeback vs. Mets with five-run seventh inning, walk-off in eighth |url=https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/yankees-complete-crazy-comeback-vs-mets-with-five-run-seventh-inning-walk-off-in-eighth/ |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=CBSSports.com |language=en}}</ref>

In 2021, the two teams played on the weekend of the 20th anniversary of the [[September 11th attacks]].<ref name="91125thAnniversary"/> In a game filled with pregame ceremonies and remembrances, the Yankees managed to win by a score of 8–7. Before the game, the two rivals came together in a show of unity by hugging which elicited an emotional reaction from the crowd.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Nightengale |first=Bob |title='This was for the city': Aaron Judge helps Yankees get back on track in emotional 9/11 game vs. Mets |website=[[USA Today]] |url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2021/09/11/yankees-defeat-mets-emotional-game-20th-anniversary-9-11/8307259002/}}</ref> The next night, star Mets shortstop [[Francisco Lindor]] hit 3 home runs to propel the Mets to a 7–6 victory, becoming the first player in Subway Series history to hit 3 home runs in a single game.<ref>{{cite web |title=New York Yankees vs New York Mets September 12 2021 |url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/NYN/NYN202109120.shtml}}</ref>

2022 also marked the first time the teams completed a major trade in 18 years, as the Mets traded middle reliever [[Miguel Castro]] to the Yankees for reliever [[Joely Rodríguez]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Breaking down history of Yankees-Mets trades |url=https://www.mlb.com/news/yankees-mets-trade-history-c271618186 |access-date=2023-10-06 |website=MLB.com |language=en}}</ref> The trade did not end up being a success, as both players ended up playing for different teams in 2023. Nonetheless, both teams made the playoffs for the first time since 2015; with the Mets losing to the San Diego Padres in the wild card round and the Yankees, though defeating the Cleveland Guardians in the divisional round, eventually losing in a sweep to the Houston Astros in the ALCS.

In 2023, the Yankees and Mets had disappointing seasons, resulting in both teams missing the playoffs one year after they were among the top teams in their league, as the Yankees finished with 82 wins and the Mets finished with 75 wins.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2023-09-28 |title=$880 million, zero playoff games: Why the Mets, Yankees and Padres became 2023's big-money disappointments |url=https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/insider/story/_/id/38504237/mets-yankees-padres-mlb-big-money-high-payroll-disappointments-2023 |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref> The 2023 season was seen as a massive letdown, as both the Yankees and Mets were among the pre-season favorites to win the World Series and both fell short of expectations.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2023 MLB World Series odds: Futures lines for every team |url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/mlb/mlb-odds-2023-world-series-futures-lines-for-every-team |access-date=2023-10-02 |website=FOX Sports |language=en-US}}</ref>

Both teams returned to the postseason in 2024 and reached their respective [[League Championship Series|LCS]], giving that year's [[World Series]] a chance to be the first [[Subway Series]] since 2000. However, the Mets fell to the [[Los Angeles Dodgers]], formerly a New York City team, in the [[2024 National League Championship Series|NLCS]] while the Yankees defeated the [[Cleveland Guardians]] in the [[2024 American League Championship Series|ALCS]] for their first AL pennant and World Series appearance since their championship season of {{wsy|2009}}, though they also lost the [[2024 World Series|World Series]] to the Dodgers, who became the first team in MLB history to eliminate two teams from the same city in the Postseason.

After the conclusion of the 2024 season, Yankees outfielder [[Juan Soto]] became a free agent. Both the Yankees and Mets engaged in a heated bidding war for the star. At the 2024 Winter Meetings, it was announced that Soto would sign with the Mets on a 15-year, $765 million contract, [[List of largest sports contracts|the largest contract in professional sports history]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Mets Sign Juan Soto |url=https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2024/12/mets-to-sign-juan-soto.html |access-date=2024-12-12 |website=mlbtraderumors.com |date=11 December 2024 |language=en}}</ref> The deal sparked outrage among Yankees fans, particularly because Soto left the storied Yankees for the long-struggling Mets. Soto's signing has been widely seen as way of reigniting the rivalry, ushering in a new era of New York baseball.<ref>{{Cite web |title=How Steve Cohen, Mets shook New York's baseball landscape with historic Juan Soto deal|url=https://www.northjersey.com/story/sports/mlb/mets/2024/12/09/steve-cohen-juan-soto-new-york-mets-record-contract/76857284007/ |access-date=2024-12-12 |website=northjersey.com |language=en}}</ref>

The 2026 season will see the two teams square off at [[Yankee Stadium]] on the weekend of the 25th anniversary of [[September 11 attacks|September 11, 2001]].<ref name="91125thAnniversary">{{cite web|url=https://www.si.com/mlb/yankees-mets-9-11-game-anniversary?utm_source=RSS|title=Yankees, Mets to Play at Yankee Stadium on 25th Anniversary of 9/11|date=August 26, 2025|first=Karl|last=Rasmussen|work=Sports Illustrated|accessdate=August 29, 2025}}</ref>

==Fan cheering groups==
Alongside the players and the team staff, it is the fans that have defined the rivalry that has been present since the beginning of interleague play. The two teams' stadium fan groups, which would tend to meet each other during the current interleague Subway Series, are (with their respective assigned sections):

*[[Bleacher Creatures]] – Yankees, Section 203, Yankee Stadium (active since mid-1990s, formerly at sections 37 and 39 of the old Yankee Stadium)
*[[The 7 Line Army]] – Mets, Big Apple Reserved Section, Citi Field (active since 2012)

==Fan demographics==
In 1998, the Independent Budget Office of the city of New York published a study on the economic effect of the city's two Major League Baseball teams. The study included an analysis of where fans of both the Mets and the Yankees resided. The study found that 43% of Mets fans lived in one of the five boroughs of New York, 39% in the tri-state area outside the city and 12% elsewhere. Mets fans were more likely to be found in [[Queens]], [[Brooklyn]] and the [[Long Island]] counties of [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau]] and [[Suffolk County, New York|Suffolk]], whereas [[Manhattan]], [[the Bronx]], [[Staten Island]], [[North Jersey|Northern New Jersey]], [[Connecticut]], and the counties of [[Westchester County, New York|Westchester]] and [[Rockland County, New York|Rockland]], as well as the upper [[Hudson Valley]] and the upstate New York region, leaned more towards the Yankees.<ref name="IBO">{{cite web|url=http://www.ibo.nyc.ny.us/iboreports/stadiumsurvey.html|title=Home Base for Mets and Yankees Fans|publisher=The City of New York Independent Budget Office|date=1998-09-28}}</ref> Mets, Yankees and [[Toronto Blue Jays]] fans are shared in [[Western New York]]. In addition, many [[Italian Americans in New York City|local Italian Americans]] are Yankees fans, while many [[Jews in New York City|local Jewish Americans]] are Mets fans.{{Citation needed|reason=The 1998 report says nothing about the Blue Jays or about fans' ethnicities|date=October 2024}}

===Wall Street Journal Report===
In what ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'' called an "Exclusive Poll" conducted in 2010, the newspaper compared the differences between Mets fans and Yankees fans.<ref>{{cite news|last=Hollander |first=Sophia |url=http://professional.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704342604575222410550392850.html?mg=reno64-wsj |title=How Yankees Fans Are Different From Mets Fans: A WSJ Poll – WSJ.com |publisher=Professional.wsj.com |access-date=2013-04-22}}</ref> The poll found:
*While Yankees fans outnumbered Mets fans by almost two-to-one (60% to 33%), Mets fans also tend to be more invested in their team: ''Not only do they monitor their team's progress more often (75% of Mets fans follow the team on a daily basis vs. 60% of Yankees fans) and make more bets, they listen to substantially more sports radio (26% to 17%)."''
*Mets fans drink more:
**Male Mets fans were more likely than Yankees fans to drink beer:
**They also drink more in general: the percentage of male Yankees fans who said they don't drink was almost double that of their Mets counterparts (28% to 17%).
*There was no statistically significant disparity in income between the two fanbases:
**The poll found 33% of Yankees fans made over $100,000 annually, compared to 22% of Mets fans, a gap which was within the poll's 3.8% margin of error.
**While Yankees fans were more likely to fall into the upper and lower brackets, Mets fans were more likely to be middle class.
*Yankee fans were more likely to own pets (47% to 42%) and be married (48% to 43%).

===Fans of other New York City teams===
{{see also|Sports in New York City}}
Historically, Yankees fans tend to root for the [[New York Giants]] (who once played in Yankee Stadium) and the [[New York Rangers]] (all three being the older, more established teams), while Mets fans tend to root for the [[New York Jets]] (who once played in Shea Stadium) and [[New York Islanders]].<ref name=NYCTeams>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/print?id=2449846&type=story|title=Yankees, Mets coexist despite their differences|first=John|last=Helyar|publisher =ESPN|date=May 19, 2006}}</ref> However, some Yankees fans root for the Jets (both teams have intense rivalries with [[Sports in Boston|Boston]], as the fierce [[Yankees–Red Sox rivalry]] has led to the rivalry between the [[Jets–Patriots rivalry|New York Jets and the New England Patriots]], [[Bruins–Rangers rivalry|The Boston Bruins and New York Rangers]] and the [[National Basketball Association rivalries|New York Knicks and the Boston Celtics]]),<ref>{{cite news|title=Baseball's Fault Lines Show Stress In Arizona|date=February 2, 2008|first=Dan|last=Steinberg|newspaper=The Washington Post|page=E11|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/02/01/AR2008020103259_pf.html}}</ref> while some Mets fans root for the Giants as part of their hatred for their counterparts in [[Sports in Philadelphia|Philadelphia]] ([[Mets–Phillies rivalry|Phillies]] and [[Eagles–Giants rivalry|Eagles]]), as well as the rivalry between the [[Flyers–Rangers rivalry|New York Rangers and the Philadelphia Flyers]] in the [[National Hockey League]].<ref>{{cite news|title=A City's Hopes Fly High on the Wings of Eagles|date=January 5, 2001|first=Peter|last=Mucha|newspaper=Philadelphia Inquirer|page=A1|quote=New York teams&mdash;the Mets, Rangers, Giants and Knicks&mdash;rank among Philadelphia's most loathed rivals.}}</ref> However Yankees and Mets fans are split when it comes to basketball and soccer (the [[New York Knicks]], [[Brooklyn Nets]]; [[New York Red Bulls]], and [[New York City FC]], respectively).{{Citation needed|date=May 2025}}

==Rivalry outside baseball==
Outside Major League Baseball, the teams rivalry has shown passions from fans of both sides.

*In the 1991 movie ''[[City Slickers]]'' starring [[Billy Crystal]], Crystal's character is seen wearing a Mets hat. Crystal himself in reality is an avid and outspoken Yankees fan, so much that he had a personal friendship with his boyhood idol [[Mickey Mantle]] in as much he produced the movie ''[[61*]]'' about Mantle and [[Roger Maris]]'s chase for [[Babe Ruth]]'s all-time record for home runs hit in a season. Crystal also celebrated his 60th birthday by signing a one-day contract with the Yankees in the 2008 Spring training.
*In the movie ''[[Two Weeks Notice]]'', [[Sandra Bullock]] and [[Hugh Grant]]'s characters Lucy Kelson and George Wade attended a Mets game. When an opposing player hit a pop-fly and Mets catcher Mike Piazza went towards the stands to get it, Lucy reached over and stole the pop fly from Piazza, preventing him from getting the player out. Piazza quipped saying she should be a Yankees fan.
*During the 2000 World Series, the [[Mayor of New York City]], [[Rudy Giuliani]], showed no remorse in his partisan support of the Yankees despite being the sitting mayor in office, though he had attended Mets games before and after. Examples of this include the Mets opened the 1996 season, he threw out the ceremonial first pitch along with the [[Governor of New York]] [[George Pataki]],<ref>{{cite news|title=For the '96 Mets, an upbeat start|date=April 2, 1996|first=Tom|last=Withers|agency=Associated Press|quote=New York Governor George Pataki and New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani threw out ceremonial first pitches, and actress [[Glenn Close]] sang the national anthem.}}</ref> during the Mets' season opener in {{mlby|1998}},<ref>{{cite news|title=Mets win Opener in Extra Innings&mdash;& Heat|date=April 1, 1998|first1=Virginia|last1=Breen|first2=Martin|last2=Mbugua|author3=Siemaszko, Corky|newspaper=New York Daily News|page=Sports.7|quote=Mayor Giuliani, the city's No. 1 Yankee fan, was greeted by mixed cheers and boos as he made his way to his box seat at Shea.

*In 2010, pop star singer and Yankees fan [[Lady Gaga]], attended a Mets game at Citi Field with the San Diego Padres where she gave Mets fans [[the middle finger]]. Actor and comedian [[Jerry Seinfeld]], a Mets fan, criticized Gaga for the incident due to children being at the game and became upset knowing that she had done the action from his personal luxury box.<ref>{{cite news|title=Jerry Seinfeld: Lady Gaga 'Is A Jerk.'|work=The Huffington Post|date=June 22, 2010|access-date=Feb 15, 2011|url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/22/jerry-seinfeld-lady-gaga_n_621224.html|first=Katherine|last=Thomson}}</ref>
*In 2013, [[Chris Christie]], former [[Governor of New Jersey]], stated his support of the Mets and confusion over why Yankees fans jeer Mets fans:

<blockquote>OK, here's what I don't understand about Yankees fans: The Mets stink. We're awful. And the Yankees are usually really good. So why do you boo us? You should feel badly for us. We root for this awful team that never wins and yet the Yankees fans boo us. I don't understand that. And other Mets fans say boo to the Yankees because they say boo to us and is not fair about that so they should care about the 2 New York team especially when they go see the team play the subway series and they should all cheer up on the subway series.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/9399682/new-jersey-governor-chris-christie-declares-loyalty-new-york-mets|title=New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declares loyalty to New York Mets|work=ESPN.com|date=18 June 2013}}</ref> </blockquote>
