Most of my elementary school friends are Mets/Jets fans because Shea Stadium was nearby and you could get tickets to see them.

I am a Yankees/Giants fan because my family were fans before the Mets and Jets even existed (Giants season ticket holders since the 1950's).

Probable also rare, but for good reason. My grandfather was a baseball Giants fan, my father a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, so when both went west, they coalesced as Mets fans, as they hated the Yankees.
