Trying to educate the nation that the New York Metropolitan (Mets) Baseball Club do not own the right to call their fanbase "True New Yorker(s)." This concept of a "True New Yorker(s)" that the Mets ballclub and/or fanbase is trying to advance is a farce. Based on history, the team was created in 1962 and has played second fiddle to the New York Yankees Baseball Club throughout its existence. As a Yankee fan, I've heard this throughout my lifetime and have laughed at its incredulity. Also, as a first generation New Yorker, born/raised/educated in the Bronx - I'd like to call myself a True New Yorker, without any connection to the New York Mets.
