What determines if a New Yorker is a Yankee or Met fan?

New Yorkers are passionate about their baseball teams, the Yankees and the Mets. What determines which team a New Yorker cheers for is a matter of geography, family, and tradition. While the Yankees have traditionally been the team of the city's upper-class, the Mets have been the team of the working-class. Family traditions also play a big role, as many New Yorkers are simply fans of whichever team their family has been loyal to for generations. Regardless of which team they cheer for, New Yorkers are passionate and proud to be part of the rivalry between these two teams.
