Base Ball Sports in NY

Base Ball

Baseball is a team sport popular in North America, Latin America, the Caribbean and East Asia. The modern game was developed in the United States from early bat-and-ball games played in Britain, and it has become the national sport of the United States. It is a Bat-and-ball game in which a pitcher throws (pitches) a hard, fist-sized ball past the hitting area of a batter. The batter attempts to hit the baseball with a tapered, smooth, cylindrical bat made of wood (as required in professional baseball) or metal. A team scores only when batting, by advancing counter-clockwise past a series of four markers called bases arranged at the corners of a diamond. Each base is 90 feet from the previous base. Baseball is sometimes called hardball to differentiate it from similar games such as softball.

New York Yankees

The New York Yankees are a Major League Baseball team based in the borough of The Bronx, in New York City, New York. The Yankees are one of two major league franchises to operate in the City of New York; the other team is the New York Mets of the National League, who operate in the borough of Queens.
Since the 1969 expansion, the Yankees have played in the Eastern Division of the American League. The Yankees have been Major League Baseball's dominant franchise. No team has won more pennants or World Series, and many of the game's biggest stars have been Yankees. The Yankees also have more championships than any other top league professional team. One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Yankees have been among the most storied teams in North America over its 100+ year history. Along with franchises like the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Dallas Cowboys and Montreal Canadiens, the Yankees have helped exemplify the phrase "dynasty" in professional athletics.
