Nonsense! The divide was between on the one side fans of the two teams playing out of Shea Stadium (those being the Mets and the Jets) - and the fans of the two teams playing out of Yankee Stadium (those being the Yankees and the Giants). Basically Brooklyn and Queens against the Bronx and Manhattan. Although it also had something to do with National League vs. American League fans when it came to baseball. Therefore some old time New York Giant fans living in Manhattan were/are more drawn to the New York Mets.
