Where does the Mets connection come from?
The tie comes from Yardbarker, which described a Topps post as calling OG Anunoby "a major Mets fan dating back to childhood". The outlet is describing the post, so this is not Anunoby speaking for himself, and it stands as a background tie rather than a fandom he has stated.
Does it match where he grew up?
Partly, though nothing in his background ties it to a place. OG Anunoby was born in Harlesden, London, and moved with his family to the US at age four, settling in Jefferson City, Missouri, where his father was a professor of finance at Lincoln University. He played high school ball at Jefferson City and college ball at Indiana, then was drafted 23rd by the Toronto Raptors in 2017. He joined the New York Knicks in 2023, which puts him in New York now, the same city as the Mets, but nothing in his background shows where the Mets interest began.
