Jim Breuer: Super Fan (Mets edition)
No one is enjoying this season of resurgence for the Mets more than super fan Jim Breuer. The comedian, Saturday Night Live alum and New Jersey resident OWNS his fanhood. His podcast is called Jim Breur Mets and More. His Facebook feed is loaded with epic fan rants about his beloved Amazin's (see his latest below; you must be signed in to Facebook to view it). And he LIVES it, you know? It's not just show. He is one of you, Mets fans. One. Of. You. He posted this on his Twitter feed before heading to the Rocky Mountains for a gig:
Any METS FAN want to meet at a sports bar tomorrow in Denver to possibly watch us CLINCH?!

We know there are other celebrity fans out there. Ashley Judd does the Kentucky Wildcats proud. Jack Nicholson (Lakers), Spike Lee (Knicks) and other stars are mainstays in NBA floor seats.
Bill Murray is a Cubs legend. And of course, Jerry Seinfeld famously staked out some Mets territory of his own in the 1980s and '90s.
At the moment, though, Jim Breuer is the standard bearer for celebrity fans who not only love a team, but live and die with it.
Here's a Smack Zone hat tip to Mr. Breuer. Well done, Mets fan. Well done.
