It’s March, and baseball is officially back with the first Intrasquad game. The weather has even been Spring-like since this weekend. 

My family took advantage of the opportunity, and we went to the zoo on Sunday. My son loves riding the train, seeing the monkeys and other animals, and he loves feeding the goats. Speaking of goats, I reiterate the Mets may regret having a Murphy to prevent the Cubs from winning a World Series. 

Aside from having a fun day with my family, there were two things I enjoyed about the visit to the zoo. As a Ranger fan, I always relish an opportunity to boo a Penguin taking a dive and looking for a call. 

  
The other thing I enjoyed was seeing all the Mets caps out at the zoo. For the past eight plus years, whenever I went anywhere I was usually the only person with a Mets hat on. Typically, someone would come up to me and share their frustrations, or someone would tell me how I was brave being a Mets fan.

Now, as my wife pointed out, everyone was wearing a Mets cap. Taking a quick non-scientific observation, the ratio of people wearing Mets gear to the people wearing Yankees gear was about 10:1. This past Sunday was yet another example of how the Mets have taken back New York. 

It’s a great time to be a Mets fan. It’s nice to see so many more people realizing it.
