Quote: They Love Their Team
In an article for The Free Lance-Star, Rich Campbell relays a quote by Nats OF Austin Kearns regarding the amount of Mets fans at Nationals Park.
Kearns, on the fans, said:
“I’d rather shut them up than have them chanting at the end of the game, but that’s part of it. They love their team, and they’re going to make it known wherever they are. Obviously, you hope you’re on the other end of it where they’re the ones that have got the muzzle on.”
This is actually a kind of compliment that Kearns is paying to Mets fans, who get a lot of criticism for booing their team. However, when I watch other teams play, very rarely do I hear the visiting team’s fans cheering for their club as loud as Mets fans do when they are on the road.
I appreciate few things more than hearing “Let’s Go Mets” emanating from the crowd during a road game, as was the case again last night.
