As a kid, I grew up believing that, if you were a Mets fan, you really couldn't like (let alone be friends with) a Yankees fan.
It was wonderful being with many, many fellow Gothamites at Citifield the other evening watching the Mets and the Yankees play. I put aside that I was sitting among Yankee fans -- arch enemies of a different era.
I don't want to make too much of it, but if I could sit among the enemy and enjoy them for who I know them to be, why can't people just get along?
