This game, despite being an exhibition, drew significant attention as it featured the two New York teams in a rare face-off. The Yankees, under manager Bill Virdon, were aiming to build momentum in the American League East, while the Mets, managed by Yogi Berra, were looking to improve their performance in the National League East after a slow start to the season. This matchup provided an opportunity for fans to see a cross-town rivalry, with the Yankees showcasing players like Thurman Munson and Graig Nettles, and the Mets countering with stars like Tom Seaver and Rusty Staub. The game offered a preview of mid-season form for both teams and was a highlight for fans during the 1974 season. #NewYorkYankees #NewYorkMets #MayorsTrophyGame #ThurmanMunson #GraigNettles #TomSeaver #RustyStaub Follow Us ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Website ▶ https://retroseasons.com TikTok ▶   / retroseasons​   Instagram ▶   / retroseasons   Facebook ▶   / retroseasons​   Twitter ▶   / retroseasons​   YouTube ▶    / retroseasons​
