While visiting Manhattan, you have to at least go to one of the New York Mets or the New York Yankees baseball games. Both have a history of being World Series winners, both teams have pitched their way to the top of Major League Baseball, so no matter which stadium you’ll end up at, either the Yankee Stadium or Shea Stadium, you just might get the opportunity to catch the next home run ball.
You’ll have to leave the luxury of one of the hotels Manhattan, USA which you’ve booked and head out to the Bronx to catch the New York Yankees play ball. This team, with 27 World Series (the latest in 2009) and 40 American League Pennants, will be one of the best experiences you’ll have while visiting in New York. In June, the team plays at the Yankee Stadium 11 times, 13 time in July and 16 times in August, so there’s no excuse to miss out on watching one of the best baseball teams ever to play the game, and where you might just get a chance to have Derek Jeters, Alex Rodrigues, or A.J. Burnett sign that baseball you caught.
If you’re not a Yankee fan, then there’s always the New York Mets, winners of 2 World Series and 4 National League pennants. This team isn’t as popular as the Yankees, but they are just as thrilling to watch. The Mets historic roster is astounding with the likes of Nolan Ryan, Yogi Berra, Jackie Robinson and Willie Mays. The Mets will have 11 home games in June and 11 in July; August 13 home games.
Being in Manhattan makes it hard to pull yourself way from the excitement of all the hubbub, but if you’re vacationing with your family, they will always remember a day out at a baseball game, especially if you attended either the Yankees or the Mets. You enitire family will always remember the time you took them to see some of the best baseball being played in both leagues; especially if you go on the tour of the stadiums before hand. There’s nothing better than seeing the Yankees locker room or walking out onto the pitchers mound at Shea Stadium and getting your photo with a baseball player. The memories you’ll bring home will be priceless.
