Every young baseball enthusiast, whether directly associated with the sport or not, dreams to be playing at New York Yankees’ Yankee Stadium. Similarly, 24-year-old Obi Toppin, who plays as a power fielder for NBA’s New York Knicks, and once pitched at Citi Field, talks about his dream stadium, and where his MLB support actually lies.

2022 NBA Slam Dunk Contest champion, Obi Toppin, who recently signed a whopping $22 million contract with the Knicks for four years, made a shocking divulgence about the Major League Baseball team he supports.

Which New York MLB team does Obi Toppin support?

In a video posted by the New York Knicks, Obi Toppin talks about having the privilege of making the first pitch at Citi Field, along with a potential dream of being able to do the same at Yankee Stadium.

Toppin said, “I’m a Yankees fan, but I threw the pitch for the Mets. But, we going to get on that Yankee field one day. We got to.”

Earlier this year, in August, Obi Toppin, along with Timmy Trumpet, threw out the first pitch before the Mets-Dodgers game at Citi Field.

Can New York Yankees make it to the World Series?

Notably, on Monday, the New York Mets bid adieu to MLB 2022 after facing a humiliating 1-2 defeat to San Diego Padres at Citi Field despite 100 season victories and regular dominance all through the season. However, their postseason snags kicked in once again, and once again, the Mets failed to impress their fans.

On the other hand, the New York Yankees won the American League East Division Pennant and are now approaching the Division Series against the AL Central Division toppers – Cleveland Guardians. While the Yanks have been the better-performing team, barring a few hitches, it won’t be easy to tackle the Cleveland Guardians.

Can the New York Yankees avenge the humiliating Mets elimination and reach the Championship Series, followed by the most imperative World Championship? Will they break their 13-year-long slump in 2022? Will they redeem themselves and show the world what being a Yankee truly means?
