The New York Yankees have no problem attracting the wealthy and powerful—everyone from LeBron James to Donald Trump has been seen wearing a Yankee hat.

The New York Mets’ celebrity fans, meanwhile, are better known for something the franchise itself has long since mastered: making people laugh at them.

Chris Rock and Kevin James are frequent sights on the Citi Field scoreboard, shouting “Let’s Go Mets!” Jon Stewart ran a full segment on the Mets’ sudden surge into first place on his penultimate episode hosting “The Daily Show” this year. Jerry Seinfeld devoted an entire two-part episode of his sitcom to showcasing the particular comedic talents of Keith Hernandez. Bill Maher liked the Mets so much that he bought a minority share of the team.

“The essence of comedy is failure and things not working out and the guy slipping on a banana peel. That’s the Mets,” said lifelong Mets fan Michael Price, a writer and co-executive producer for “The Simpsons.” “I can’t imagine somebody who has a sense of humor being a Yankee fan.”

For the most part, he’s right. The Yankees have plenty of celebrity fans—probably more than the Mets—but outside of Billy Crystal and Larry David, not many of them are terribly funny.
