==Sports== {{see also|Sports in Pennsylvania}} [[File:Metro Bank Park Renovation.jpg|thumb|[[FNB Field]]]] Harrisburg serves as the hub of professional sports in [[South Central Pennsylvania]]. A host of teams compete in the region including three professional baseball teams, the [[Harrisburg Senators]], the [[Lancaster Stormers]], and the [[York Revolution]]. The Senators are the oldest team of the three, with the current incarnation playing since 1987. The original Harrisburg Senators began playing in the [[Eastern League (1916)|Eastern League]] in 1924. Playing its home games at [[City Island (Pennsylvania)|Island Field]], the team won the league championship in the 1927, 1928, and 1931 seasons. The Senators played a few more seasons before flood waters destroyed Island Field in 1936, effectively ending Eastern League participation for fifty-one years. In 1940, Harrisburg gained an Interstate League team affiliated with the [[Pittsburgh Pirates]]; however, the team remained in the city only until 1943, when it moved to nearby [[York, Pennsylvania|York]] and renamed the [[York Pirates]]. The current Harrisburg Senators, affiliated with the [[Washington Nationals]], have won the Eastern League championship in the 1987, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, and 1999 seasons. {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !
