By Mark W. Sanchez
The most iconic Subway Series moments between the Yankees and Mets
The first “F—k Juan Soto” chants arrived at 6:51 p.m., when the Mets slugger ran out from the dugout to begin pregame stretching.
It would not be the last unkind chant.
Yankees fans were merciless, drowning the superstar in boos before his name was even announced as he strolled to the plate in his first game back in The Bronx.
Juan Soto smiled at the reaction he got from Yankees fans on Friday night.

If anyone were cheering, they were not heard as Soto — classic Soto — drew a walk. Even while on base, the “F—k Juan Soto” scream continued.

So even after a magical, if unfulfilled, 2024 season, Yankees fans were angry.
Soto enjoyed the best season of his career last year, was the club’s best hitter in October and crushed the home run in Cleveland that sent the Yankees to the World Series.
