A veteran New York talk show host has made a major 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 great [president] and made a beautiful tribute to the deceased, great [Charlie Kirk]. The Mets let their announcers screw over the late great Charlie, players who support Trump, and celebrate a shortstop who is [sic] The wife works with the terrorist sympathizer. Seems like a pretty easy choice to me! Come on Yankees (sorry, dad),” Rosenberg posted on X on Tuesday.

Francisco Lindor’s wife, Katia, was named to the list of members of Mamdani’s inaugural committee, and the Mets parted ways with Pete Alonso, Jeff McNeil and Brandon Nimmo. The Yankees honored Kirk on the day of his assassination with a moment of silence, and Trump attended a game the next day, 24 years after 9/11.
Just before that, Rosenberg reposted a mock Mets lineup that included Bernie Sanders in left field, Bill de Blasio at leadoff, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at designated hitter and Katia, the “2025 Marxist Cy Young winner,” on the mound. The post had 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 gifted 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 in my life I’ll be sporting a Yankees jersey as I head to the Bronx. The official transition from a lifelong Mets fan to a Yankees fan is now underway,” Rosenberg said alongside a photo of himself in a Yankees jersey. “Like my friend [Charles Gasparino] once wrote “Wake up, go broke!” The Mamdani Mets are too WAKE for me! See you soon at the Stadium, fans!”

Rosenberg then posted a photo of himself and Levine from a suite in the Bronx, then compared himself to former Mets general manager Omar Minaya, who now works in the Yankees’ front office.
Rosenberg then had a message for 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 fun to me and it had little to do with the final outcome. I think I’ve made my case. LIFE isn’t one big idiotic ‘Field of Dreams’ movie. Not anymore!”

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