The Yankees and Mets battled for bragging rights of New York as they squared up for their Subway Series battle. The Bronx Bombers swept the four-game series this week that was capped off with a 7-5 win at Citi Field on Thursday night. This was just the second time since interleague play began in 1997 that the Yankees swept a season series against the Mets, the last coming in 2003.
The social media accounts for the Yankees took a mighty jab at their cross-town rivals and reminded the Mets who is the king of New York with a Game of Thrones-themed insult. In just three words and a crown emoji, the Yankees’ Twitter account destroyed the Mets. Bend. The. Knee.
The Yankees are happy to be back as the king of New York.
