NextImg:Mets, Yankees delivered New York a fitting early fireworks show on Fourth of July

The Citi Field crowd was large and loud. The weather was the precise perfect we missed all spring. And the holiday matchup in Queens turned out to be a home run — technically, seven of them. 

Even with the Yankees and Mets generally at their worst and unhealthiest in recent weeks — and let’s hope it doesn’t get much worse or any unhealthier than this — the show must go on. And what a Subway Series show these two struggling/ailing teams put on while simultaneously putting their various, increasing troubles aside. 

This was an American holiday done right, from first-inning fireworks featuring three home runs, including one each by superstars Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, to Jeff McNeil’s game-winning home run and finally McNeil’s show-stopper of a play in the ninth to help save a memorable 6-5 win for this seriously depleted Mets team.

“That was a [bleeping] good one,” one Met declared upon entrance into their clubhouse.
