Path Through History: Sports History

New York's sports teams and venues are among the most storied in American history. Besides being the birthplace of the American pastime in Cooperstown, the Empire State is the home of the oldest major sports venue in the U.S. at the Saratoga Race Course, and one of America's greatest Olympic triumphs that made everyone believe in miracles. These sites and others can be experienced as a fan, and some even as a participant.
