?It Was Just the Mets?- Derek Jeter?s Trolling of the Mets for Always Being Inferior to the Yankees Rings True as Pinstripes Sweep 2022 Subway Series

Apart from the Boston Red Sox, the New York Yankees also share a rivalry with the National League side, the New York Mets. However, the former Yankees captain Derek Jeter has never considered the Mets a rival. Instead, he never misses an opportunity to troll the Mets.

Recently, the Yankees played a subway series against the Mets in the Bronx and made them sweat in the two-game series. Unlike the Yankees, the Mets were in excellent form before the series and were favorites to win the subway series.

Notably, the Yankees were struggling for the last few weeks until they played the Mets recently. And now, when the Pinstripes won the subway series, the Yankees fans remembered their club legend Derek Jeter, who once trolled the Mets for always being inferior to the American League giants.

Jeter said he never hated the Mets because they were just the Mets.

Taking to Twitter, ESPN shared the video of the same. ?For us, there wasn’t a hatred of the Mets. They were just how we looked at it was just the Mets,? said Derek Jeter.

When talking about the game, the Yankees dominated the Buck Showalter-led team in the two-game series in the Bronx. It was a much-needed win for the Yanks as they had already lost six series in a row.

The Astros benefitted the most from the Yankees? slum after the All-Star break. On one hand, the Pinstripes were on a losing spree, while on the other hand, the Houston Astros kept winning the games.
