The Big Leagues: It's a Two-Team Town (For Now)
Bold Pennsylvania boasts two Major League Baseball (MLB) teams: the legendary Philadelphia Phillies and the perennially optimistic Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Phillies, those scrappy underdogs (sometimes...), have been around since 1883, making them one of the oldest continuously operating teams in all of baseball. They've even brought home a World Series trophy or two (we're lookin' at you, 2008!).
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
The Pirates, on the other hand, well, let's just say they're known for their... interesting team management strategies. But hey, they gave us Roberto Clemente, one of the greatest to ever play the game, so we gotta give them props for that.
Beyond the Big Leagues: A Baseball Bonanza (Kind Of)
Now, Pennsylvania isn't all about the MLB. There's a whole minor league scene simmering just beneath the surface! From the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (who are affiliated with the Yankees, by the way!), to the Reading Fightin' Phils (not to be confused with their big league counterparts), there's a team for just about every baseball fan in the state.
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Just a heads up, you might need a map and a scorecard to keep track of them all, but hey, that's half the fun, right?
So, How Many Teams Are We Talking About Here?
The short answer: Two MLB teams (Phillies and Pirates).
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
The long answer: It depends on how deep you want to dive into the rabbit hole of minor league baseball. There's a whole lotta teams out there!
