New York is home to three baseball teams, the Mets, Yankees and the newest team are the Brooklyn Cyclones. New York Yankees are the world champions and the team everyone loves to hate. Tickets for games are pretty hard to come by, but there are enough home games in a season so you may strike lucky with a ticket for either Yankees or a Mets game. Ticket prices range from $8 to $55, these can be bought from the stadium but you may be able to find the odd ticket tout selling them for extortionate sums of money. Locals sometimes get rid of their unwanted tickets on the Internet and you may even be able to pick one up quite cheaply.

A good site for shopping for tickets is www.craigslist.com
