New York Mets

Watch baseball return to Queens each season when this Major League franchise takes the field. The Mets arrived in 1962 to fill the void left by two storied National League clubs that had headed west a few years earlier. Their name actually echoes back to a 19th-century team that played in the 1880s, creating a quirky thread of continuity through the city's baseball history. The club called the Polo Grounds home for its first couple seasons before moving to Shea Stadium in the mid-1960s, where generations of fans watched them play for over four decades. Since 2009, they've made Citi Field their headquarters, built on the same plot where their previous stadium once stood. Winter brings a quieter energy to the ballpark when the season ends, but come spring, the neighborhood buzzes with anticipation again. The team competes in the National League's East Division, drawing crowds who come for both the love of the game and the chance to be part of Queens' sporting identity.
