City’s greatest pro athlete: Babe Ruth, New York Yankees
Bottom line: Four different teams have won World Series championships for the city of New York — the New York Giants, New York Yankees, New York Mets and Brooklyn Dodgers.
While the Yankees and their 27 championships stick out above all the rest, when the other New York teams win titles, it’s a history-making moment. The 1994 New York Rangers winning the Stanley Cup ended a 50-year drought. Willis Reed’s heroic walk back out to the court in Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals for the New York Knicks. And the New York Giants pulling off the biggest upset in Super Bowl history when they took down the unbeaten New England Patriots in 2008.
Start spreading the news, New York is the home of champions.
