Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul celebrated the end of the prolonged MLB lockout on Thursday, noting the importance of America’s pastime to New York’s economy and character.
“The return of baseball means so much to New York City. It is central to our city’s spirit, and it is vital to the recovery of so many small businesses and the hard-working New Yorkers they employ, particularly in the Bronx and Queens,” said Adams. “I look forward to seeing fans both young, and young and heart, at Citi Field and Yankee Stadium in the weeks ahead.”
