Quote:I've been watching game 1 of the World Series, which is the only baseball I ever watch aside from occasionally watching SF Giants games. Anyways, I need help deciding who to root for between the Royals and Mets.


 

I'm leaning towards the Royals, but only because the Mets clearly have a bone headed outfielder.


 

Any other reasoning that should sway my opinion?

 

Mets 2nd baseman Daniel Murphy who has been the MVP of the playoffs thus far is from Jacksonville.  Englewood HS and Jacksonville University.

 

His playoff stats include 7 HRs in 9 games compared to the regular season 14 HRs in 130 games

 

That said, I'm for the small market KC Royals.  In this world of NO-Salary-Cap baseball, the Mets and Yankees traditionally went out and signed the top Free Agents (although this Mets team was build primarily from their farm system).
