Hollywood vs. Broadway: Time for a Dodgers-Mets celebrity fan showdown

The Dodgers and Mets are set to face off in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday at 9:30 p.m. ET on TBS, but it's so much more than just a baseball game -- it's the Big Apple vs. Tinseltown. Hollywood vs. Broadway. LA Metro vs. the MTA.

A showdown so big can only mean one thing: A whole lot of celebrities will be taking sides. Of course, both L.A. and New York are no strangers to famous fans, so in preparation for their showdown we're taking a roll call of the biggest stars. There are comedians, actors and singers of all kinds, but they have one thing in common: They'll be living and dying with their favorite team.

Since the Dodgers will be enjoying home-field advantage, we'll give the Mets first crack:

Jerry Seinfeld

One of the biggest Mets fans there is, the man behind "Seinfeld" has been making his presence known at Shea Stadium and Citi Field (and Twitter) for years. He and fellow fan Larry David have even been known to recruit newcomers to the cause. New "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah never had a chance:

Jon Stewart

But that's nothing compared to the old "Daily Show" host -- some guy named Jon Stewart. When he wasn't hanging out with Mr. Met or using his national television platform to bring his Mets fandom to the world, Stewart was known to give those crosstown Yankees a hard time. Not even Mariano Rivera was safe.

Hank Azaria

In addition to voicing Professor Frink, the Comic Book Guy and too many other beloved "Simpsons" characters to count, Azaria is a Queens native and diehard Mets fan. We know what you're thinking, and yes: He has indeed called great moments from Mets history in the voice of Apu:

Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker

Ferris Bueller may have played hookie and gone to a Cubs game, but both Broderick and his wife Parker bleed orange and blue. Don't believe us? We've got the video of Mr. Met serving him hot dogs with Andy Cohen to prove it.

Kevin James

In case for some reason you needed further proof that the King of Queens loves his Mets, allow us to submit Exhibit A: At the premiere of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, James eschewed formalwear for ... a Mets jersey. Seriously:

Quite an impressive lineup for the Amazins. But Hollywood is Hollywood, so of course the Dodgers have a response. 

Alyssa Milano

What better place to start than with actress who's such a Dodgers superfan that she not only never misses a postseason moment, she even launched a whole line of MLB clothing for women: Touch by Alyssa Milano. 

Bryan Cranston

Bryan Cranston is many things: Actor; role model to Brian Wilson; the One Who Knocks. But above all, he's a Dodgers fan. Like, a big Dodgers fan. A fan who idolized Vin Scully and Sandy Koufax growing up, and said this to ESPN back in 2009:

We'd imagine the next generation of baseball fans will hold the same reverence for Cranston's one-man postseason opus from last fall:

Danny DeVito

Danny DeVito loves his Dodgers. I mean, just look at the joy they bring him:

But how did a guy from New Jersey end up bleeding Dodger blue? Sure, it could be the result of years living on the West Coast. But we know the truth: One Nick Punto. The actor took to the diminutive shortstop back in 2013, even wearing a Punto jersey to a game in August. And, wouldn't you know it, Punto homered that night, and a bromance was born:

Ice Cube

As if that old school Raiders hat wasn't obvious enough, Ice Cube lives for all things L.A. sports. So back in 2013, to further establish himself as the lyric poet of our time, the rapper teamed up with DJ Felli Fel, Tyga and Ty Dolla $ign to record "Dodgers Anthem 2013" -- and it is every bit as beautiful as you'd imagine. Our personal favorite line:

Bleed Dodger Blue, Tommy Lasorda

I think I saw the old man walkin' on water 

George Lopez

We saved the last word for the man so devoted to his Dodgers, he decided to pitch in and serve as ballboy for a night. Fear not, he's a natural at avoiding baseballs:

You laugh, but "not getting in the way of fair balls" is half the job description. Although we admittedly prefer the comedian in the role of Matt Kemp's White Knight:
