New York Sports Teams
Sports in New York City have a long and distinguished history.
New York City has teams in the four major North American professional sports leagues, each of which also has its headquarters in the city.
Baseball is the city's most closely followed sport. There have been fourteen World Series championship series between New York City teams, in match ups called Subway Series. New York is one of only three cities to have two baseball teams. The city's two current Major League Baseball teams are the New York Yankees and the New York Mets. There are also two minor league baseball teams in the city, the Staten Island Yankees and Brooklyn Cyclones.
The city is represented in the National Football League by the New York Jets and New York Giants, although both teams play in Meadowlands Stadium in nearby New Jersey in 2010. In 2014 the stadium will host Super Bowl XLVIII.
The New York Rangers represent the city in the National Hockey League, calling Madison Square Garden home.
In soccer, New York is represented by the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer. The Red Bulls also play their home games in a new stadium of their own, also in New Jersey.
The city's National Basketball Association team is the New York Knicks and the city's Women's National Basketball Association team is the New York Liberty.
New York supports many events outside these sports. Queens is host of the U.S. Tennis Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments. The New York City Marathon is the world's largest. Boxing is also a very prominent part of the city's sporting scene, with events like the Amateur Boxing Golden Gloves being held at Madison Square Garden each year.
The Younger Wizard (8 year old son) would like to invite you to joins us at the Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox on August 8, 2010. We managed to get some great tickets!
The Younger Wizard would like to inform everyone that he will be seen on the giant video screen catching a pop fly to center with his lucky catcher's mitt.
I kindly ask that if you happen to be seated behind me and my wizard's hat obstructs your view, feel free to ask me to remove it. I prefer that over having popcorn thrown at me like the last game I attended.

From 1923 to 2008, the Yankees' home ballpark was Yankee Stadium, one of the world's most famous sports venues. In 2009, they moved into a new stadium, also called "Yankee Stadium". The franchise is the defending World Champion of Major League Baseball and lead the League in both revenue and titles, with 27 World Series championships and 40 American League Pennants. They have more championships than any other franchise in North American professional sports history, passing the 24 Stanley Cup championships by the Montreal Canadians in 1999.

| New York Islanders | NHL Ice Hockey | Nassau Veterans Memorial | The team was founded in 1972 during the 1972–73 NHL season as part of a bid to keep the rival World Hockey Association out of the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum where the Islanders have played since their founding. The Islanders won four consecutive Stanley Cup championships between 1980 and 1983, one of nine dynasties recognized by the NHL in its history.[1] The future of the team, according to many commentators, depends on the success of the Lighthouse Project development plan, which would include a new arena for the Islanders. They have not won a playoff series since the 1992–93 NHL season. Eight former members of the Islanders have been inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, seven of whom—Al Arbour, Mike Bossy, Clark Gillies, Denis Potvin, Billy Smith, Bill Torrey and Bryan Trottier—were members of all four Cup winning teams. Pat LaFontaine was the most recent inductee, having been honored in 2003. |

| New Jersey Devils | NHL Ice Hockey | Prudential Center | The club was founded in Kansas City, Missouri as the Kansas City Scouts in 1974, moved to Denver, Colorado as the Colorado Rockies after only two seasons, and then settled in New Jersey in 1982. The franchise was poor to mediocre for most of its first 13 seasons, only making the playoffs once. However, under current president and general manager Lou Lamoriello, the Devils have made the playoffs in 20 out of the last 22 seasons, including each of the last 13. They won the Stanley Cup in 1995, 2000 and 2003. For their first 24 seasons in New Jersey, the Devils were based in East Rutherford and played their home games at Brendan Byrne Arena/Continental Airlines Arena. Prior to the 2007–08 season, the Devils relocated to Newark to play their home games at the newly-constructed Prudential Center. The Devils are known for their defensive-oriented style of play, but have recently excelled in their offense as well. The Devils have a rivalry with their cross-Hudson River neighbor, the New York Rangers, as well as a rivalry with the Philadelphia Flyers. Since the division's creation in 1993, the Devils have won the Atlantic Division season title nine times, most recently in the 2009–10 season. |

| New York Red Bulls | MLS Soccer | Red Bull Arena | The team is a founding member of MLS (1996), but has gone through several name changes. The team was originally known as the New York/New Jersey MetroStars through 1997. From the 1998 season until right before the 2006 season, the team was known as simply the MetroStars, though 'NY/NJ' continued to be displayed on the MLS Website in reference to the team through the early 2000s. On March 9, 2006, it was sold to Red Bull GmbH, and the name of the organization was changed to Red Bull New York while the playing team was to be called the New York Red Bulls. |
