Recently, the New York Times came out with an interactive map that shows each MLB teams' fan base. Unlike previous maps trying to show fan bases, this one happens to be spot on and incredibly precise. Personally (being a Sox fan), the most impressive part of the map is showing exactly where Red Sox nation turns into the evil empire. The line is now called the "Munson-Nixon line" which is down right hysterical for all Yankee and Red Sox fans.
Unfortunately, the land does not show "Blue Jays territory" (all of Canada), and does not label the White Sox fan base, although you might be able to see it engulfed within Cubs Land. The map does, however, show the Mets and Athletics fan bases...or lack there of.
I'm giving the A's a pass on this one, just because they are about everybody's second favorite team and have earned nothing but love from around the country. The Mets, however, have absolutely no fans.
Absolutely destroyed by Yankee territory, the Mets have trouble to find fans to begin with. Not to mention how unlikeable they are, their pathetic 'Citi Field' and lack of overall talent, the Mets look to be in a bit of a funk.
This blog is pretty much just here to help scare Mets fans. Their best player is now 31, hasn't played for a contender in almost 7 years and seems to be on and off the DL. Their best pitcher just underwent Tommy John, and seems to be over whelmed with the media. Their young rotation is more disappointing everyday and their superstar rookie catcher is hitting under .200. The Mets suck, their fan base sucks, their players suck, and their prospects suck. I hate them and will never get over '69. So here's to the future Queens; CHEERS!
