Baseball in New York City *The first major league team in New York city was the New York Mutuals, who played in the inaugural National League season of 1876. *The first game was played in Yankee Stadium on April 18, 1923. Bob Shawkey threw a three-hitter for the win and Babe Ruth hit a three-run homer, the first in stadium history. The attendance was 74,217. *View a list of Hall of Famers born in New York.Here*From 1903 to 1957, at least three major league teams competed in New York: the Giants, Dodgers, and Yankees. In 1914 and 1915 the Brooklyn Tip-Tops were the fourth major league team in New York, playing in the Federal League. *From our FAQ on Hall of Famers and Honorees: Why isn't Roger Maris in the Hall of Fame?

Roger Maris first became eligible for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974. According to the rules of election, Maris was eligible for consideration by the Baseball Writers' Association (BBWAA) of America for fifteen years. During that span of time, Maris garnered a considerable number of votes, though never more than the 75% required for induction. In 1992, after a required three-year wait following the BBWAA voting period, Maris became eligible for consideration for induction by the Hall of Fame Committee on Baseball Veterans. At this time, Roger Maris remains eligible for consideration by the Hall of Fame Committee on Baseball Veterans, but not the BBWAA.While Mr. Maris is not currently a member of the Hall of Fame, he is well represented in the Museum. Many artifacts from his career are part of the Museum collection. Both the bat and ball from his record-breaking 61st home run of the 1961 season are on display here at the Museum.
