The only city with at least two franchises in all four sports is New York, which is both the largest city and the largest metropolitan area in the country. Five of the metro area's nine major-sports franchises play outside the city limits: the NFL's Jets and Giants, the NBA's Nets, and the NHL's Devils all play in New Jersey; the NHL's Islanders play in Long Island. However, all teams retain "New York" in their name except the Devils and Nets.\n\nSource: Wikipedia\n\nMy .02:  It's the biggest metro in the country.

California has the most sports teams combined in all sports.  But the reasoning for this, isnt because the city is big.  That has nothing to do with it, its because the State has so much money.  They can afford to buy more than one team, an the more teams the better profit they bring in, so they can make even more teams!  Why have 1 Los Angeles Lakers team, when you can profit off yet another team, in this case the Los Angeles Clippers.  It all comes down to money.  An California not only being one of the biggest states, but richest can afford this, which is why they have many.  New York as well.  I mean, in a way it can get annoying... even I have thought that.  But if you were running the sporting agency in your state/city, youd do the samething to... or I would.  Hope that helps!

I think it can certainly be a good thing... fans located in areas with teams in both leagues get to see these teams play each other in meaningful games.\n\nGrowing up as a Met fan, every year they would play the Yankees in the "Mayors Trophy" game...just one game out of the season...but the regulars wouldn't play that much... We wanted to see Tom Seaver go out there and blow the Yankees away, but of course, the Mets weren't going to waste a pitching turn by Tom Seaver to win such a 'meaningless' game.\n\nAt first, I was against interleague play, but it didn't take long for me to change my mind...\n\nPlayers used to play for one team, or in one league, their whole career... or at least for many years at a time. Players because identified as an "American Leaguer" or a "National Leaguer". The only time they would ever meet (except the World Series) was in the All Star game... and at that time, there was a genuine rivalry between the NL and the AL.  Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Johnny Bench, Billy Williams, Ernie Banks, Tom Seaver, Bob Gibson, Fergie Jenkins, Ozzie Smith, Pete Rose... these guys were all "National Leaguers".\n\nBrooks Robinson, Carl Yastrzemski, Frank Howard, Frank Robinson, Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Vida Blue, Reggie Jackson...these guys were all "American Leaguers" (even though Frank Robinson came up with the Reds). \n\nIn NJ, where I grew up, we got to watch Met and Yankee games, so we got to see players from both leagues... there was also a Saturday afternoon "Game of the Week" on NBC, in addition to "Monday night baseball", also on NBC. (No cable at that time)\n\nWhen you're used to identifying players with a particular league, you don't like to see the leagues play each other, besides the W.Series and A.S. Game.\n\nBut today, the way players (even great ones) switch teams and leagues, it really doesn't matter...there's really no division of players the way there used to be... \n\nso yeah, I think Interleague play is good for baseball... \nin spite of the fact that the majority of 'inter league' matchups are pretty lame.\n\nthere aren't any such things as "National Leaguers" and "American Leaguers" any more... Randy Johnson has been a star for Seattle and Arizona... is he an A-Leaguer or a N-Leaguer? There are plenty of other examples of future Hall of Famers who split their careers between the two leagues.\n\nThe last real "American Leaguer" was Cal Ripken, Jr.\n\nAssuming he doesn't go to the A.L to DH (I doubt he will), Barry Bonds might be the last of the "National Leaguers".\n\nI'm not counting on Pujols to spend his whole career in St. Louis, as great as he is.

C'est tres vague comme question (vu la creation plus recente de certains sports), mais je pense que les New York Yankees en baseball sont sans aucun doute tre sbien places dans ce genre de classement.

Absolutely behind u on that.Some of these smaller cities have but one news paper,so naturally NY would dominate.Besides there is a lot of money behind them and they want to keep their jobs.It has been biased from day one.If these smaller franchise could spend money on players like the Yankees have, they wouldn't have won all those championships.

That would put an odd number of teams in each league.  An even number is needed in order for each team to be playing regularly.

New York is a state in the northeastern United States. It is sometimes called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from New York City, the most populous city in both the state and the nation. Because of the preponderance of the population concentrated in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate.\n\nFor more info, see below:

New York isn't the only state with 2 teams.  As so many people have pointed out, Ohio has the Indians and the Reds, Illinois has the Cubs and the White Sox, Texas has the Rangers and the Astros, Florida has the Marlins and the Devil Rays, Missouri has the Cardinals and the Royals, Pennsylvania has the Phillies and the Pirates, California's got 5 teams in the A's, Giants, Dodgers, Angels, and Padres, and a case could be made for the Washington D.C./Maryland area having two teams in the Nationals and the Orioles.\n\nIf you're talking about the city of New York, they're not the only city to have two teams either.  The Cubs and the White Sox both play in Chicago, and even Los Angeles has two teams (can anyone forget the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim?), although the Angels play down the I-5 in a completely different county.\n\nAnd wait, I'm still not done.  The Yankees have been throwing money at players for years and yet they haven't won a World Series since 2000 when they beat the Mets.\n\nDude, check your facts before you start shooting your mouth off.
