A home field advantage.
NEW YORK – During a recent baseball game at Citi Field, the home of the New York Mets, the stadium's jumbotron became an unexpected source of entertainment, not just for the game itself but for a playful jab at rival New York Yankees fans in attendance. Throughout the game, particularly between innings, the large screen prominently featured images of Yankees supporters, identifiable by their team apparel. Accompanying these live shots were humorous thought bubbles, seemingly revealing the inner musings of the fans. These satirical comments ranged from lighthearted critiques of Citi Field's food, with one bubble stating, "The food here really is much better," to more pointed remarks about Yankees traditions, such as "The roll call is embarrassing behavior for grown adults." Other thought bubbles included a young fan expressing, "I really can't wait for Dallas Cowboys season!" and another individual pondering, "I hope the traffic to Staten Island isn't that bad tonight." The playful trolling by the Mets organization highlights the long-standing and often humorous rivalry between New York's two major league baseball teams, delighting Mets fans and drawing amused reactions from many in the stands. The video, originally shared by @MaxTGoodman on X, quickly gained traction online, showcasing the unique fan culture prevalent in New York baseball.
