If the Mets can win the World Series, the United States can get out of Vietnam.
For seven years, I was in this fishbowl with this intensity, with all the stuff that went on with the Mets.
The Mets have shied away from that iconic club because they don't want the current one exposed to that hard-partying culture which, while well-documented, has also been somewhat exaggerated at times. The guys from that championship team are older and more mature now and can warn the current Mets about some of the pitfalls of fame.
I have the greatest fans. I have fans that come from soap opera world, I have fans that come from superhero world, which are a whole different section of fans. They're so cool.
Me, personally, I was a Mets and Giants fan.
The only thing worse than a Mets game is a Mets doubleheader.
If you've got comic book fans and soap fans and country fans, I think you've hit the whole world. What else is there?
In New York, the Mets are winning the World Series in 1969; that was pretty big, but I would say the moon landing was right up there with the Mets in the World Series. So it made a, a big impression on me as a little kid.
It's not like I'm going to go out and change the world and convert everyone into MMA fans. There's going to be fans out there who are fans of combat sports and fans of contact sports but not everybody's going to be converted.
Only God knows why I didn't make it with the Mets, but yes, in a short period of time, I got the opportunity with the Phillies.
I love Rampage fans. I don't love all MMA fans, but I love Rampage fans. And I really want my fans to know that. I think my fans know when they come in contact with me.
I have a lot of regrets about what I've done. If I had to do it over again, I never would have left the Mets. I'm very thankful for all that Mr. (George) Steinbrenner did for me when I was with the Yankees, but I wish I had stayed in New York with the Mets.
I'm sitting here with the Mets, and I get to throw out the first pitch. That's one of the coolest things in the world for anybody.
I realized that, all along, my theory was right: Make music that you want to hear, and instead of having fans that one day might criticize or abandon you, your fans aren't even fans. They're people with tastes similar to yours. They're friends you haven't met yet.
Being a Mets fan is like lending someone a lot of money and you just know that you'll never get paid back.
The Mets has come along slow, but fast!
Baseball fans! Good lord! I feel like sports fans get mad at you easier than country music fans. It scares me. I'm glad that country fans don't get mad every time I mess up.
Hanson has rapid female fans, which I'm completely proud of, but a lot of fans are a contingent that have grown up with us really - our peers. There's younger fans. More and more guys are Hanson fans, musicians or kind of guys who were into a Beatles record.
We are so lucky because all our fans from around the world are great. We love all our fans from everywhere, and they want us to visit them. We will try! They are really the best fans we could wish for.
I got a lot of fans, like core fans, that love me. I ain't one of the dudes that sell five or 10 million brackets, but my followers are stern. They're there. My fans - Jadakiss fans, LOX fans, D-Block fans - they loyal.
There's a lot of crossover between comic fans, wrestling fans and pop culture fans.
I don't rate Heat fans like I rate Knicks fans. We are true basketball fans. No matter what - rain, sleet or snow, or even if we don't make it to the playoffs for 10 years - the Garden stands are still full.
Living up in Syracuse, everybody's a Yankee fan. Not too many Mets fans up there.
Tom Seaver was let loose twice by the Mets and pitched a no-hitter for the Reds and won his 300th game for the White Sox, but he wears a Mets cap in the Hall of Fame as homage to the 1969 championship.
I won't be managing the Mets. I am closing the door on managing the Mets and probably everybody else.
I was into the Mets because my Dad worked at IBM where he got free Mets tickets, so I was into the Mets... then I got to 'Saturday Night Live' where my boss has unbelievable N.Y. Yankees tickets, so he invites us to the games. I'm going to all the games, so I might as well root for the team I'm gonna go sit with.
I had to satisfy the action fans, the romantic fans, the intellectual fans. It was a terrific burden.
There’s rivalry between the Harry Potter fans and the Twilight fans. And Twilight fans think they’re much cooler than the Harry Potter fans. And I’m like, I dunno why, they’d all get their butts kicked by the Doctor Who fans.
The Mets are gonna be amazing.
I couldn't be a White Sox fan because that was like being a Mets or a Yankees fan.
Look, do I like the Mets and the Yankees? Absolutely.
God is living in New York, and he's a Mets fan.
The fans on 'Pretty Little Liars' were the craziest fans I've ever met in my life in the best possible way. The dedication that those fans have to the show and the characters is amazing.
I have the greatest fans. I have fans that come from soap opera world. I have fans that come from superhero world, which are a whole different section of fans. They're so cool. When people are fanatical about something, it's contagious.
There are no fans more rabid or devoted than KISS fans. KISS fans are what all other fans are measured against. That's how it came to be known as the KISS Army.
I don't believe a manager ever won a pennant. Casey Stengel won all those pennants with the Yankees. How many did he win with the Boston Braves and Mets?
My passions are stand-up comedy, hard rock and metal, and baseball and the Mets.
The Mets have shown me more ways to lose than I even knew existed.
We didn't want to make a movie that excluded any fans. 'Venom' fans actually are of all ages, and so we wanted to be inclusive to all the fans that were excited about the movie.
The Mets just had their first .500-or-better April since July of 1992.
My day one fans - my fans from my mix tape days - know my life now. They know where I've been. You don't want to have a disconnection with those fans. You have to give them all of you because they feel like they've known you.
I will take a draft to the Yankees or to the Mets. A draft for president is not conceivable.
I would never put on a Mets hat. Only if I was playing a Met as part of the job. Which, actually, I did a long time ago.
A lot of people have told me real New Yorkers are Mets fans
I have a vivid memory of loving Keith Hernandez, the first baseman for the '86 Mets. I grew up in Queens, so when the Mets won the World Series that year, it was a big deal.
I like the Mets. I'm interested in the Mets.
Warming up for the Brewers is that lefthander they got from the Mets, Bill Pulitzer.
Hanson has rapid female fans, which I’m completely proud of, but a lot of fans are a contingent that have grown up with us really - our peers. There’s younger fans. More and more guys are Hanson fans [but they’re] musicians or kind of guys who were into a Beatles record.
I feel like, of course, Houston has Asian fans and Japanese fans, and Asian fans live all over the place.
I have a lot of diehard fans. Ace Frehley fans and Kiss fans are the greatest fans in the world.
I don't discriminate against any fans. Fans are fans, and gay men are great. I support gay marriage and the whole bit. I think everybody should be able to be with who they want to be with.
All of the Mets' road wins against Los Angeles this year have been at Dodger Stadium.
Wait'll next year! is the favorite cry of baseball fans, football fans, hockey fans, and gardeners.
I do have a lot of concerns but I am happy to say the Mets aren't one of them.
I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes... sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage.
First of all, Mets fans despise me.
I remember being, like, 5 years old, and my dad took me to a Yankees-Mets game. My dad had me on his shoulders and taught me one of the most important lessons about sports. He said, 'Jesse, just remember one thing, the Mets suck.'
When I have political discussions with my friends, I piss them off because my personal position is that there's no difference between the parties. It's the Red Sox and the Mets.
If I have the TV on, it's either a Mets game or 'SportsCenter.'
