As someone too young to really appreciate the NY rivalry of the Giants and Dodgers, I've always found it awesome that the Mets took a color from each of those two teams.TheBrooklynMethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01920910516501279232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-9404444893739634412012-05-26T20:18:39.845-04:002012-05-26T20:18:39.845-04:00Your attention to detail is so much fun when you c...Your attention to detail is so much fun when you come up with your theories, I love it. As a Mets fan I believe their primary color is the Dodger Blue while the orange is more of an accent, more parts of the iniform and stadiums are/were blue and their experiment with orange jerseys several years back was a flop thankfully. Another fact (Ironicly I posted it last night talking about Duke Snider) is that 9 players played for both the Brooklyn Dodgers and NY Mets and upon more research I found only 2 players were both NY Mets and NY Giants. Looking further, 93 players have played for the Mets and Giants over all while 133 have worn both the Dodger blue and the Mets blue and orange, Dodgers win again. As you can see, I really want you to like the Mets, except when they play the Dodgers of course, as we need all the fans we can get on this side of town.BA Bennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08150345904848914238noreply@blogger.com
