What is the metro series?
The
"Metro series" is a term that refers to a series of baseball games played by the main league teams founded in New York. Traditionally, the term "metro series" was used to describe World Series games, played by two teams in New York. Since 1997, however, it has been common to apply the term “metro series” to any set of games played between two teams in New York during the regular baseball season.
Two current teams in New York are Yankees and Mets. Yankees are members of the American Baseball League while METS are part of the National League. New York Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers left New York in 1957.
The modern metro system is a very important part of urban life in many cities. In New York, the subway is important both historically and in terms of everyday comfort. Subway has become an important part of traveling the city in the 1920s and regularly used if you want to commute to baseball fields. At that time, the metro railways brought sports fans to all three cityBall parks. The main ballparks were Polo Grounds, Yankee Stadium and Ebbets Field. The main baseball places are Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium today.
It is not known who created the term "metro series". However, it is known that the term “nickel series” was used in 1927 because it appeared in the newspaper of that year. "Nickel Series" resembles "series meters" because in 1927 there was one nickel to ride the subway, so he traveled for one of the games. However, it took over the term "metro series" and was most often used.
The term “metro series” is used regularly today. Now it concerns a series that is played between two contemporary teams in New York, Mets and Yankees. However, there are other cities such as Los Angeles and St. Louis THV both rely on metro systems and are home to more than one team. When the home teams of these cities play a number of games against each other, you can technically use the term "metro series". However, the deadline created in New York and is still doing well in New York is generally referred to as a number of games played between Big Apple teams.
