Queens, hell! In England. they'd be the Flushing-Corona Mets.

Remember, there are 2.2 million people in Queens. America's 4th largest city if NYC ever Balkanizes. (Los Angeles, Chicago, Brooklyn, Queens.). You think the locals up by the Whitestone Bridge want to be associated with Forest Hills and JFK airport? I doubt it.

(Even if Spider-Man is from Forest Hills.)
