Jerry Seinfeld takes jabs at Yankees, Giants on sports talk radio

WFAN’s Chris McMonigle fielded a surprise call on WFAN Tuesday night.
McMoingle was filling in on the evening shift when his producer took a jab at “Seinfeld,” saying the sitcom had just three good episodes. Then, the star of the show called in.
“I love the show; I’m not arrogant enough to think everybody should like what I do,” Seinfeld said. “I just wanted you to know that doesn’t bother me. I’m okay with it; one out of two is fine for me. That’s all I wanted to say.”
The comedian took the opportunity to rip the Giants.
“Look, we made 180 Seinfeld episodes,” Jerry from Queens said. “So, we made three good ones. We’re like the Giants. We’re 3–177.”
Seinfeld then commented on his favorite team, the Mets.
“You could make a pretty good argument that this season was the most magical, not counting the two World Series wins, this was the most magical,” Seinfeld said. “Because it was a chemistry and it was an energy, and it was an emotional thing of guys that weren’t supposed to be that good. I don’t know what could beat that. Does winning with Juan Soto and Shohei Ohtani, would that be as fun as this?”
“As an adult to be jumping up and down and screaming, what makes you jump up and down and scream as an adult? Nothing,” Seinfeld continued. “But there’s no zillion-dollar player that’s gonna throw his helmet down like Jesse Winker. The value of that, that guy going crazy, his enthusiasm, that made it more fun than anything.”
Before, he was done, Seinfeld took a jab at the Yankees and their breakdown in the fifth inning of Game 5 of the World Series.
“But tell me about the pain of the fifth inning,” Seinfeld asked McMonigle. “Tell me about that. I wanna know, what did that feel like as a fan?”
