Knicks’ Karl-Anthony Towns shades Celtics with shirt during Subway Series appearance
NY Post
The crowd in The Bronx went wild for Karl-Anthony Towns on the Jumbotron at the Yankees-Mets rubber game on Sunday night.
Towns was smiling in a suite alongside his girlfriend Jordyn Woods, and was sure to stand up and show off his interesting wardrobe choice.
Towns showed off his T-shirt that had a picture of a Knicks fan who became famous for his appearance in a Sidetalk NYC video after the team’s win against the Celtics in the 2021 regular-season opener.
The Knicks’ star center received thunderous applause as fans of the two baseball teams came alive during the Yankees’ 8-2 win on Sunday.
The Knicks fan shown on Towns’ shirt went viral in 2021 after the Knicks won their season opener over the Celtics in double overtime. He put his fingers in an L shape on his forehead and danced after saying “f–k Boston” in a wild scene outside of Madison Square Garden.
The largely unknown fan has become an internet sensation and is now on a T-shirt worn by Towns, who is clearly still giddy over the Knicks’ six-game series win over the Celtics.
PORT ST. LUCIE — For now, Craig Kimbrel is choosing Mets purgatory.

Don’t blame Mikal Bridges for his paltry stats. Blame the role.
Almost a year to the day after a goaltender interference call against Kyle Palmieri lost the Islanders a game against the Blue Jackets that started their season’s death spiral, they were on the wrong end of another controversial call against those same Blue Jackets that might have had the same effect.
On the Queens side of town, the reno began in earnest almost as soon as Francisco Lindor grounded into the 4-6-3 double play. That ended a 4-0 loss before a rare sizable crowd at Miami’s loanDepot Park last Sept. 27, all of them there to witness the final death rattles of an epic baseball calamity.

Next comes the harder part. Mostly because it can’t get any easier.
It was Kids Day at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, but for the Rangers, it’s been All About The Kids for months.
PORT ST. LUCIE — From the moment he was told he needed surgery on his left hamate bone, Francisco Lindor fixated on the recovery time. Trainers provided the Mets shortstop a six-week pathway to return to play, and Lindor was determined to hit every marker.
Dylan Garand knew the number off the top of his head. He knew that, between the regular season and playoffs, he’d logged over 160 games with AHL Hartford, and he was right. Before the Rangers recalled him Friday, Garand had served as the Wolf Pack’s goaltender 165 times.
SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.
