[edit] Needs a LOT More Work

See Yankees-Mets Rivalry and Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry for an idea on how this should be written. I only see stuff mostly pertaining to the past few years. It should start from when the Mets started in MLB back in the early 60s. Arnabdas (talk) 16:45, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, there hasn't been much prior to the last few years regarding the rivalry. Despite the proximity, usually one team was really good and the other team was really bad. And it was never even close to the Giants/Eagles or Rangers/Flyers rivalries. However, in recent years it has without a doubt become one of the fiercest rivalries in Major League Baseball. I live in Brooklyn and I root for the Phillies in the National League and in past years I could go to Shea without hearing a word. Now I hear stuff all the time when I attend a game there..and the same goes for Citizens Bank Park, where Mets fans usually invaded without any fight being put up. - 04:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.161.206.86 (talk)
Yeah, there wasn't really a serious "rivalry" to speak of until '06 or '07. And besides, just because it needs work is no reason to put it down. Why not help instead? KV5 (talk) 23:10, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
