Isn't it interesting how many celebrities are Mets fans? It seems as if each game we see someone unexpected at the game in a Mets hat and say "he's a Mets fan?"

Bill O'Reilly (ugh, really, WTF)
Richard Nixon (OMG, again OMG)
Hilary Swank (I thought I hear during the broadcast, last season, she was a Phillies Fans?)
John Leguizamo (got 2 be a yankees fan)
Glenn Close & Hilary Swank... what did the Mets corner the market for women who lock like men?
I personally think Hilary Swank is hot!
Peter David -- author

Music - Big L (Rest in Peace)
I'm pretty sure marc anthony is a mets fan

Chris Booker (Radio personality/ DJ)
Stephen Colbert (Colbert Report)
Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live)

Fantastic!
Thanks for the additions...Colbert baby!
(nerd voice)Uhh... Mick Foley's now in TNA, the rivals of the afore-mentioned WWE(end nerd voice)
To the genius above - Jim Cramer's actually a die-hard Philly's fan.
Isn't bill mazer a big mets fan? I remember him singing a celebratory version of Beethoven's ninth when the Mets won the WS in '86.
I am surprised that Mientkiewiz was a Mets fan. Didn't he grow up in Florida with A-Rod? Also, I thought Mazilli grew up a Yankees fan, but I could be wrong.
Howard Stern & Robin Quivers are definitely not Mets fans .. Neither of them are sports fans at all and in fat, Howard Stern usually joins in with Artie Lange (a Yanks fan) in referencing the Mets as, um, effeminate. Gary "Bababooey" Dell'Abate is definitely a Mets fan though.
Ray Romano is not a Mets fan. This link from him at the NBA Finals last year has him saying he is a Yankees Fan.

Here's Ray at a Mets game...he is allegedly both a Mets and yanks fan.

From his Bio:
"Romano is an avid fan of both baseball's New York Mets and football's New York Jets. He and his sons are often seen at the games."
Page McConnell of Phish is also a Met fan...
You forgot Adam Sandler and Chris Rock!!
You forgot Matt Cerrone (he thinks hes a celebrity)
Sanders is a Yanks fan. Notice in his movies the Mets fans and the Red Sox fans are usually bad guys.
Meant Sandler not Sanders... LOL
Tazz of WWE and ECW fame is a big time Mets fan as well.
No (RIP) for Nell Carter?
George Bush Sr is/was a Mets fan. He threw out the First Pitch at Shea a couple times as VP and is tight with the Wilpons.
I believe you forgot Michael Piekarski -famed sports writer.
Richard Neer is a Mets fan? Really?
Everytime I listen to him, he refuses to say which team he roots for, because he said it is not important.
Also, I always thought he was a Cardinals fans.
Richard Neer is a Mets fan? He always refuses to state which team he roots for.
Anyway, I always thought he was a Cardinals fan.
