i feel like jay gatsby would be a mets fan
#i know they weren't around in the 1920s i knooooow#but just like. idk. the underdogs of new york fighting against the old establishment (old money east egg / the yankees)#and said establishment (old money east egg / the yankees) never fully respected them#they're both chasing something they haven't been able to get at for a while (daisy / a world series win)#but there's always this feeling of hope they never lose even when they don't get it#and even when they've been directly beat by them (chapter 7 / 2000) they still don't give up and keep on hoping until the very end#and one of the mets' catchphrases is even “ya gotta believe” like come on#and this year they even went out with a... shall we say... bang (chapter 8 / forcing a game 6 with the dodgers in the nlcs)#jay gatsby#the great gatsby
