New York Mets

Fan base

Since the team is based in Queens, the Mets have a strong fan base there as well as in Brooklyn, Staten Island and Long Island. These parts of the metro area had traditionally rooted for the Dodgers (and to a lesser degree the Giants) over the Yankees. Yankee fans tend to be more concentrated in the rest of the city and the remaining parts of the metropolitan area (such as northern New Jersey, Westchester County, and southwest Connecticut), though fans of both clubs are scattered throughout the tri-state area. Notable Mets fans include celebrities Ray Romano, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, Tim Robbins, Viggo Mortensen, Paul Auster, Bill O'Reilly, Susan Sarandon, Michael Vartan, Joe Quesada, Peter David Bob Wiltfong and Kevin James (as well as his fictional character, Doug Heffernan). The late Pearl Bailey was also a Mets fan.
