(Photo by Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)

New York is a state with a lot of teams and lots of players. That means a lot of talent and good players.

But only few of these players get the title "Fan Favorite" . And it means so much more when it is in New York, where you know that if you are a fan favorite then you are safe from the New York fans boos (most times).


I hope you enjoy this list, pleas let me know what you think and who is your favorite player.

Enjoy!

10. Johan Santana

Team: Mets

Santana is considered by most people the best pitcher in baseball, or at least the NL.

The way he trows the ball and gets the outs is amazing.

He has been amazing with the Mets, before his last loss (the one where he did not give up an earned run and had 13K's) he had not lost in 16 straight starts for the Mets.

And he really helped the Mets in the end of last season when they did not have many good arms in the bullpen. He went deep in two games and threw less pitches. He even threw on three days rest a day before the end of the season.

And that is why he is on the list.

9. David Lee

Team: Knicks

This guy is a good young player, he helps them win games (even though they dont win many of them) and he helped the team be in the race for the playoffs for half a season

I personally dont understand why everybody is so crazy about him, but they are. He is only 25 years old, i can see him being on the team for a very long time.

8. Jose Reyes

Team: Mets

This guy is one of the better players on the Mets and i think he is the best shortstop in New York.

Jose Reyes is one of the Mets' up and coming stars. He has done a great job in his six seasons in New York.

Reyes has broken lots of records away from former Mets, including all the records for stolen bases and triples.

In 2007, he broke the single season stolen base record with 78, and then in 2008 he broke the all time Mets record for stolen bases.

He led the NL in stolen bases and triples in three seasons of his young career.

7.Henrik Lundqvist

Team: Rangers

He reminds me of Martin Brodeur just younger.

I do not know much about the NHL, I just know that all Ranger fans love this guy, him and Scot Gomez are the top Rangers.

As I said I do not know much about the NHL, but I know the the Rangers are the big thing in New York. So I hope Ranger fans agree with this

6. Antonio Pierce

Team: Giants

There is a lot to say about this guy, but I am going to put this in two words—Smart Defense.

This guy is like a QB on the wrong side, he has been the main reason the Giants have the top defense in the NFL.

And the fans know it, that is why he is one of the most loved guys in New York
