Season five very well could be the best season of the nine, pound-for-pound. When thinking about that true New York feel and what Seinfeld was made of, season three - just one season prior to the breakout of season four - really hit home the Big Apple feel. Seasons eight and nine are rough at times and are scarce in the top 25. In my humble opinion, the series really dipped once David left the show.

Players like Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams and Danny Tartabull made cameos. The Yankees took on more of a role - perhaps due to Larry David’s fandom - via George’s dream job scenario during the last episode of season six all the way to the end of season eight. From Keith Hernandez‘s appearance in season three to the actual pilot episode, the franchise was fully entrenched. The Mets, obviously, have a huge connection thanks to Jerry’s fandom. That moment came during the episode “The Baby Shower” of season two and since then it became apparent the show Seinfeld would forever connect the dots between social single-life and New York City sports.
