The clubs have never resembled each other throughout their 60-year coexistence-and not even in the 2022 season, while winning a combined 200 games. Yankees fans wear their hats tall and proud, like Marines, while Mets caps weigh their wearers down, slightly hunching them to brace for the inevitable. One has way-too-serious announcers the Mets’ booth opens baseball cards and discusses Keith Hernandez’s cat. One plays in a stoic, cement-enclosed Stadium the other in a brick-and-breezy Field.

One demands excellence the other invites dread. Yet to us New Yorkers, all these two franchises share are our city taxes.

Now they will spend at least this weekend and probably another week together, filling stadiums every night for what could become the most exciting October New York has ever enjoyed. 6, 2015-featured both New York teams alive in the same postseason (when the wild-card Yankees bowed out meekly in their one-and-done 3-0 loss to the Astros). Even with so many new wild-card doors to the playoffs, only one day in the past 16 years-Oct. So, after a regular season in which the 101-win Mets and 99-win Yankees should appear of similar quality, they now enter the playoffs with entirely different vibes.īut they both did make it-which is far rarer than most realize. (Yeah, the Mets host all three wild-card games, but Citi Field’s proximity to LaGuardia augurs a pre-takeoff cancellation of spirit.) Meanwhile, the Yankees will yet again limousine into the Division Series, where the Indians or Rays could be mere speed bumps to a meeting with Houston for-good grief, not again!-the World Series.

They now must survive a three-game series against the Padres, wasting Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom just to face the 111-win Dodgers one round early. Then came last weekend, when the Mets choked so spectacularly in a three-game sweep to Atlanta that their current wild-card existence- brought to you by Heimlich!- feels generous. In a city where the teams’ 7 and 4 trains cross at 90-degree angles, the Mets and Yankees approached their Octobers on unprecedentedly parallel tracks. They would then face the only better teams in their respective leagues, the Dodgers and the Astros, for a possible meeting in a Subway Series. Both would get a first-round bye and home-field advantage for a Division Series in which they would be heavily favored.
