Some Mets fans are celebrities. Eight of the biggest celebrity Mets fans faced off and Twitter picked Dylan O’Brien as the ultimate celebrity Mets fan.
It’s no surprise that there are many celebrities who are fans of the New York Mets. But when it comes to being a fan, who are the biggest celebrity Mets fans?
We took to Twitter with a sample of eight celebrities who are fans of the New York Mets. We then matched each of them together to fight through three rounds to determine who is the ultimate celebrity Mets fan.
More than 2,500 votes were tallied and many hearts were broken as celebrities were eliminated.
Let’s take a look at the seeding for our celebrity Mets fan tournament.
Number One: Jerry Seinfeld
Everybody should know who Jerry Seinfeld is. He’s starred in almost 200 episodes of the Seinfeld show and made a bunch of other appearances in other shows. He’s also one of the biggest Mets fans you can find.

Jimmy Kimmel is one of the biggest Mets fans that you can find. He’s thrown a first pitch, and even brought the team for a surprise appearance on his show in Brooklyn days before the World Series began in 2015.
