For the first two games of the Queens edition of the Subway Series, the Mets’ Stadium Ops crew has acted as if it wants to ensure the invading Yankees fans have a good time (and, of course, return). There have been singalongs to Francisco Lindor’s “My Girl”; entreaties for peace between the fan bases between innings while “Why Can’t We Be Friends” plays; extended, elongated sketches involving the “Bronx Giraffe,” who is on the lam, or something; a bit involving a “Yankees fan” deciding the less-traditional environment at Citi Field is more fun than Yankee Stadium and thus trading his allegiances. As Mets marketing executives tried to outdo their counterparts, the on-field product has reflected that the home team is doing just about everything better.
