For those of you who are new to this site, I am a Mets fan that grew up in Baltimore (and now live outside of DC), so for the majority of my life I have been an away fan. I have never met a group of fans though like Mets fans. While I don't always agree with some of views as fellow Mets fans (a friend of mine and I constantly argue over Dan Murphy. I'm for him, he's not), Mets fans always seem educated in what is going on with the team. They know the recent moves. They have opinions. They know the recent story lines.
I was walking to work yesterday and I hear a car honk. I look around and someone was waving at me. He asked me where I got my jacket (I was wearing a Mets winter jacket that I got for $90 off a few years ago because I bought it in Baltimore, seriously if you want cheap Mets gear, Baltimore has it cause stores stock it and then they can't sell it). So I told him and he told me he was from Queens and has been a Mets fan his entire life.
We then started a five minute discussion where he asked me my opinon about Jason Bay (without saying Bay, we both knew who we were talking about) and then I asked him about the rotation where he stated his opinion about the quality of pitchers after Johan. After this we parted ways (and I forgot to tell him about this website, which happens a lot. If you ever meet me in real life, there is a 90% chance I will forget to mention this site).
I'm sure there are Mets fans that don't represent this mold that I'm talking about here, but I haven't met them yet, and I go to a good number of games and talk to people in the street if I see them wearing Mets stuff. Lets Go Mets! Come on Spring, get here sooner.
