“I Thought It Was the Mets”- Joe Rogan’s Appalling Answers to New York Yankees Questions Exposes His Real MLB Awareness

Crediting the New York Yankees and the New York Mets, and their established success in Major League Baseball over the years, New York stands as one of the most popular MLB destinations. While the city has its baseball history, it also houses the Subway Series, which is a distinguished MLB rivalry between Manhattan and Queens. And ace UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan made a Subway Series blunder while discussing both New York-based teams.

Recently, in his “The Joe Rogan Experience,” episode 1904 featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, the UFC commentator makes a blunder about ex-Yankees pitcher Jim Abbott’s New York team, which in turn reveals his true feeling and information about the MLB and baseball.

This is how Joe Rogan truly really feels about baseball:

In the interview, Neil deGrasse Tyson begins talking about Jim Abbott, an aspiration New York Yankees pitcher who threw the ball and hit without a right hand. While giving a brief about Abbott’s life, and the no-hitter he threw in September 1993, Tyson says, “But on September 4th, 1993, while playing for the stormy…”

At this point, Tyson looks towards Rogan and expects him to complete the sentence by stating Abbott’s team. However, the pause extends, and Rogan quietly says, “I don’t remember.” Following this, Tyson shakes his head in disbelief, completes the sentence, and says, “New York Yankees.”

As a response to this, Joe Rogan said, “I thought it was the Mets.” – which was enough to explain Rogan’s knowledge in the realm of baseball.

Jim Abbott- a career that fought against all odds and inspired

Jim Abbott, born without a right hand, always dreamt of playing baseball in the major leagues. Eventually, his dream came true, and the lefty ace made his MLB debut with California Angels in 1989. Since then, he went on to play for five other teams, which include the Yankees, White Sox, and again the California Angels, followed by returning to the Chicago White Sox, and finally, the Milwaukee Brewers.

Abbott announced his MLB retirement in 1999, and the inspirational pitcher retired with 888 strikeouts, an ERA of 4.25, and a win-loss record of 87–108.
