Hudson Valley Renegades
1500 Rte. 9D, Wappingers Falls 845-838-0094
Of course, the Brooklyn Cyclones and their fancy Coney Island KeySpan Park stadium are hard to beat—but the whole experience can feel a bit on the corporate side (again, it’s called KeySpan Park). For a small-town taste of what minor-league baseball should be like, drive an hour and a half north to Wappingers Falls and check out the Hudson Valley Renegades. The stadium is simple, the tickets are cheap, and you’re almost guaranteed to get a seat behind home plate if you want it.
Best Minor League Team
Competition breeds the best. If only one pizzeria existed in New York, of course, there’d be no real winning slice. Thankfully, we’ll never know what that sorry situation tastes like, since pizza—like dance parties, dog runs, and fried chicken—has to evolve upward here.
