The Mets and Yankees both sit in first place in their respective divisions, and while it's only early May, the collective success has fans in New York dreaming of a potential October clash.
Count Steve Somers among them.
"A Subway Series, even a passive baseball fan, the whole city gets involved, as was the case in 2000," Steve said when he joined Keith McPherson's show on Thursday night. "Even within a family, you're gonna have the excitement and intensity and the rivalry at play. That's the ultimate, to get to another Subway Series."
The Yankees had the clear advantage last time the two teams met in the Fall Classic, the Bombers cruising to a five-game series win and a three-peat, and while New York still holds the advantage of recent success, Steve says his Metropolitans are currently looking like a team more suited for a World Series run.
"The New York Metropolitans, even though both teams are in first place, I think the Mets are constructed much better than the Yankees are," Steve said.
Still, Steve has been impressed with the Yanks after their lackluster start to the season.
"The sample is small," Steve said. "But the Yankees took two out of three from Toronto and built that 11-game winning streak, and that's what you're supposed to do with the bottom feeders, Baltimore, Detroit, Kansas City, you're supposed to show that they're not the New York Yankees, which is what the Yankees did."
