xlr8ted Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 Diff with Mets/Yank, Mets are the national league and the Yankees are American league...(National league the picther bats, american league they have a designated(sp) hitter for the pitcher)Some states do have more than 2 teams, California has a quite a few baseball teams, not exactly sure how many off hand, but probablly over 5 to 6 baseball teams... Football as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicman Posted October 6 Report Share Posted October 6 it usually has to do with the size of a city or metropolitan area. most major cities have 2 teams in some sports as they are big enough for each team to have it's own following. it's not to far fetched, think of some bigger eauropean cities and the amount of football teams they have:MILAN: Inter & MilanTURIN: Juventus and TorinoMADRID: Real, Atletico and Rayo VallecanoLONDON: Asrenal, Spurs, Chelsea, Charlton, Fulham, Wimbledon, etc.MANCHESTER: Man U. & Man CityLIVERPOOL: Liverpool & EvertonBARCELONA: Barcelona & Espanolin NY:NHL: Rangers & DevilsNBA: Kicks & NetsNFL: Giants & JetsMLB: Yankees & Metsin LA:NHL: Kings & DucksNBA: Lakers & ClippersNFL: NoneMLB: Angels & Dodgers(plus UCLA and USC college teams)CHICAGO:NHL: Just 1 teamNBA: Just 1 teamNFL: Just 1 teamMLB: Cubs & White SoxNY is a big city that can have all of these pro teams and ensure that each team has its own fan base.
