New York City and baseball are inseparable. Even if you are not a sports fan or a fan, you should visit the game at least once! Why – we’ll tell you right now!
Baseball season has officially arrived in New York City! You don’t have to be a fan of sports in general or baseball in particular to enjoy the game. This entertainment is for all New Yorkers: a lot of fun and a great mood for many weeks ahead!
History
If you can’t hit a ball, even if your life depended on it, you can still get some very amazing stories from the world of baseball. Legends like Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle, each of whom played for the Yankees — have won 27 titles since 1921!
Stadiums
Even the vague possibility of catching a game ball is already worth the trip to a game in the South Bronx or Queens. The Yankee Stadium is now worth $1.3 billion and is the most expensive baseball stadium in the history of the world. Despite all the pathos and glamour, the place has amazingly preserved all the historical milestones – the legendary lettering and coverings, the awesome atmosphere and the spirit of the game.
Traditions
The traditions of the New York baseball world are truly unique. For example, after every home game, the Yankees start singing Frank Sinatra’s legendary song “New York, New York. Interesting fact: after the loss, the team very often sang Liza Minnelli compositions, however, the star took offense and filed a petition with the court. Now only Mr. Sinatra is the sole king of the venue.
Food and fun
Every New Yorker knows that there are only two ways to truly cheer and watch the game: at the stadium in the city or in one of Manhattan’s best sports bars. If for some reason you’re not a big fan of crowds at baseball fields or don’t want to spend a lot of time on transportation and travel, the city’s great bars may be an option for you.
