===Baseball=== The area is home to the [[Eastern League (1938–present)|Eastern League]]'s [[Binghamton Rumble Ponies]], the [[Double-A (baseball)|Double-A]] affiliate of the [[New York Mets]]. The former Binghamton Mets have sent stars like [[Daniel Murphy (baseball)|Daniel Murphy]], [[Noah Syndergaard]], [[Steven Matz]], [[Juan Lagares]], [[José Reyes (shortstop)|José Reyes]], [[David Wright (baseball)|David Wright]], [[Preston Wilson]], [[Ike Davis]], [[Zack Wheeler]], [[Edgardo Alfonzo]], [[Jon Niese]], [[Pete Alonso]] and [[Jay Payton]] to the majors. Binghamton has a long history in [[professional baseball]] dating back to 1877. Teams nicknamed the Crickets, the Bingoes, and for many years the Triplets represented Binghamton in the [[New York State League (1885–1917)|New York State League]] (now defunct), the [[New York–Pennsylvania League (1923–37)|New York–Pennsylvania League]], the [[International League]], and the [[Eastern League (1938–2020)|Eastern League]] (1892–94, 1938–1963, 1967–1968, 1992–2021). The 1887 Binghamton Bingoes of the International League attracted national attention when the white players revolted against the two black players on the team. The reaction around the league forced Binghamton to release the black players, and the team folded soon after. The [[Binghamton Triplets]] of the Eastern League, founded in 1923, became a farm club of the New York Yankees in 1932, and sent many players to New York through 1968, when the team folded. Notably, the [[Baseball Hall of Fame|Hall of Fame]] pitcher [[Whitey Ford]] was a starting pitcher for the Triplets in 1949.
