The Mets and Yankees played three games against each other in spring training, so the novelty of referring to the opposing New York team as “them” has worn off for Carlos Mendoza.
Fifteen years as a Yankees minor league instructor/major league coach and now a half-season into his first MLB managing job, Mendoza wasn’t about to get too nostalgic as he prepared for his first Subway Series as Mets manager.
