The Yankees is mostly for transplants and New Jersey residents. This is the impression I get. Am I right or wrong?

Mets fans tend to root for the New York Jets (who once played in Shea Stadium) and New York Islanders

45% Mets fans - 43% Yankees fans

Seriously though, whenever you see a movie with NY cops or firefighters - they seem to always be Mets fans.

You are wrong. Also anecdotally I've noticed most Mets fans are social rejects and quite awkward

I would say newer transplants are Mets fans given the Yankees lack of any recent success. Plus, Citi Field is a better stadium than Yankee Stadium. Much better overall experience from food, entertainment, etc.

You are way wrong. If you are from Queens or Long Island, you are a Mets/Jets/Islanders fan.

Otherwise, you root for the Yankees/Giants/Rangers

From what I've seen and heard, Jets/Mets fans are almost all blue collar and Giants/Yankees fans are more white collar

During the month I spent in NOLA after Katrina, working with the firefighters from NY, they told us the real NY'ers were Mets fans. They said the Yankees were for the tourists and locals who were there b/c it was a place to be seen.

I bet there are still quite a few Dodgers and Giants fans.
