I believe I was the first to use that phrase, and yes, I was indeed
inspired by that tune. While I'm a Yankee fan (boo, hiss, you
probably went), I did on occasion watch telecasts of that other New
York team when I was a kid, and at one point at least they started
with that song, complete with lyrics. (The Yankees' theme song was
at that time, the late '70s, played only in instrumental form at the
start of telecasts, so I actually learned the Mets lyrics before I
knew those of the Yankees.)
