More than a DOZEN Yankees and Mets fans brawl during heated New York Subway Series showdown in the Bronx

0 comment
More than a dozen Yankees and Mets fans were involved in a fight during the intercity series.

Expletives, racial slurs and punches flew as part of the chaos at Yankee Stadium this week, where the Bronx Bombers lost a two-game series to the crosstown Mets as fans of both teams pointed guns at each other.

The Yankees were outscored 15-5 during losses on Tuesday and Wednesday, the first of which was further marred by the brutal brawl that has since gone viral.

The footage does not show how the rival Yankees and Mets fans ended up fighting, but two women and a dozen men appeared to be involved in the brawl.

‘Fuck him! Fuck him!’ the cameraman repeated. ‘Damn it! Damn it! Fuck him!’

When a shirtless white Yankees fan knocked down a Mets fan with a hard right hook, the cameraman began yelling, “That’s my black! That’s my black!”

It's unclear how the fight at Yankee Stadium started, as the brawl lasted about a minute.

Another camera angle has since emerged, showing a female fighter struggling to get back to her feet after the confrontation.

Meanwhile, the shirtless Yankees fan could be seen in the background reenacting his opponent’s fall to the ground.

He also spent 10 or 20 seconds doing push-ups in front of the cameras.

That fight came after the Yankees’ 3-2 loss to the Mets on Tuesday, which was considerably closer than Wednesday’s 12-3 thrashing.

Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor and Tyrone Taylor homered off Gerrit Cole and Lindor added a three-run shot off the bullpen to sweep the season-ending Subway Series for the first time since 2013.

Lindor hit a left-handed, two-run homer off Cole and connected right-handed off Caleb Ferguson for a season-high five RBIs and his 18th multi-homer game, his third this year. Lindor has 21 homers and 60 RBIs.

Mark Vientos homered off Tim Hill in a five-run eighth inning and the Yankees allowed four or more homers for the third time in five games.

The Mets went 4-0 against the Yankees this year, matching their sweep in 2013, and outscored them 36-14. The Mets improved to 29-13 after a 24-35 start.

The Yankees (60-44) are 10-22 after a 50-22 start and 1-8-2 in their last 11 series after starting 17-3-2. They have allowed 34 homers in 18 games in July and allowed five in a game for the first time in two years.

The Yankees were 4 for 36 with runners in scoring position against the Mets this year.

Sean Manaea allowed Gleyber Torres’ homer in the first inning and Juan Soto’s 26th homer in the third, but the Mets (53-48) overcame deficits of 1-0 and 2-1 to move five games over .500 for the first time since they were 14-9 in April 2023.

Cole (3-2) allowed six runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings, raising his ERA to 5.40. The reigning AL Cy Young Award winner has allowed seven homers with an 11.17 ERA in a pair of starts against the Mets and two homers with a 3.20 ERA in his other five outings.

Taylor hit a tying homer in the third, Alonso had a two-run shot in the fourth and Lindor had a two-run homer in the fifth among their three hits.

Taylor chased Cole with his third hit, an RBI single in the sixth that prompted fans to boo the Yankees ace as he walked toward the dugout. Taylor also made a backhanded catch in center that robbed Alex Verdugo of a hit leading off the bottom half.

With the Mets up 5-2, Adam Ottavino (2-2) got Anthony Volpe to ground out for a force out that ended the inning with the bases loaded in the fifth.

Manaea allowed two runs, three hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings.

The season-high crowd of 48,760 was the Yankees’ 14th sellout, one shy of their 2023 total.

Torres, restored to the top of the batting order for the first time since April 9, hit his first career home run.

Soto made a leaping catch to steal the ball from Jeff McNeil at the top of the right-field wall for the final out of the second inning. McNeil had homered in his previous two games, including a tiebreaking, two-run shot that lifted the Mets to a 3-2 victory on Tuesday.
