A longtime New York talk show host has made a big change.
WABC Radio’s Sid Rosenberg announced on social media this week that he has converted his fandom from the New York Mets to the New York Yankees.
“So the Yankees hosted the big ones [president] and made a beautiful tribute to the late, fantastic [Charlie Kirk]. The Mets allow their announcers to s— on the late great Charlie, hand out players who support Trump and celebrate a shortstop who is [sic] wife works with the terrorist sympathizer. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me! Let’s Go Yankees (sorry dad),” Rosenberg wrote to X on Tuesday.

Francisco Lindor’s wife, Katia, was named to Mamdani’s list of constituents, and the Mets parted ways with Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo. The Yankees honored Kirk the day he was assassinated with a moment of silence, and Trump attended a game the day after, which was 24 years since 9/11.
Just before that, Rosenberg reposted a mock Mets lineup that included Bernie Sanders in left field, Bill de Blasio at first, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at DH and Katia, the “2025 Marxist Cy Young Winner,” on the mound. The post featured a graphic of a mock Mets logo that was redesigned to read “Mamdani Mets.”
Rosenberg posted a photo of Yankees jerseys that he implied were given to him by team president Randy Levine. He then posted videos of Bucky Dent, Tino Martinez, Johnny Damon, Jim Leyritz and Jeff Nelson congratulating him on the transition.
“I’ll be 59 on Sunday 🙂 For the first time ever, I’m wearing a Yankee jersey as I head to the Bronx. The official transition from lifelong Met fan to Yankee fan is now underway,” Rosenberg said, along with a photo of himself in a Yankees jersey. “Like my friend [Charles Gasparino] once wrote “Go Wake, Go Broke!” Mamdani Mets are too WAKE for me! See you in the stadium soon, fans!”

YANKEES FANS HIT STANDINGS AS TEAM BEATS ANGELS IN Frustrating Skid
Rosenberg then posted a photo of himself and Levine from a suite in the Bronx and compared himself to former Mets general manager Omar Minaya, who now works in the Yankees front office.
Rosenberg then had a message for the critics.
“You can turn on your president. You can turn on your city. You can turn on your country. You can turn on religion. You can turn on your family. But you can NEVER turn on your sports teams! Now do you realize how STUPID so many of you sound?” Rosenberg wrote. “The Mets STOPPED being funny to me and that had little to do with the final score. I think I’ve made my case. LIFE is not one big ‘Field of Dreams’ movie idiot. Not anymore!”

Rosenberg also said his choice got “better by the second” after learning the Mets will not host a Jewish Heritage Night — the only one this decade was in 2023.
The Mets haven’t won a game since Mamdani hugged both Mr. and mrs. Met on April 9.
