Surviving

Woo Jin Ho: Surviving the Mets (April Fools Edition)

Season 1 Episode 9

Baseball season this year starts on April Fools Day, which is a perfect metaphor for Mets fans. Seeing as how this episode is launching the same week, my good friend Woo Jin Ho joins me to take a look at what it's like to survive as a fan of the franchise. 

Woo Jin grew up in Queens, rooting for the Yankees--but then switched allegiances because of a Mets-Padres doubleheader of all things.

In this conversation, we touch on how being a Mets fan fits into my own cancer journey, talk through the importance of winning the offseason, ponder our prospects for actually winning this year, and joyfully take a few cheap shots at Yankee fans. 

Bonus trivia question that is part of the discussion:

  • When Dave Kingman played for the Mets, he became one of two players in MLB history to have more home runs than RBIs. Who was the other?
