Long Island

Long Island is an island located in southeastern New York, United States, just east of Manhattan. Stretching northeast into the Atlantic Ocean, Long Island contains four counties, two of which are boroughs (Queens and Brooklyn) of New York City, and two of which (Nassau and Suffolk) are mainly suburban. In popular usage, the term “Long Island” generally refers only to Nassau and Suffolk counties in order to differentiate them from New York City, though the entire island is part of the New York metropolitan area.

Queens

Queens is the largest in area, the second largest in population, and the easternmost of the five boroughs of New York City. The borough is coextensive with Queens County, an administrative division of New York state, in the United States.

Located on the western portion of Long Island, Queens is home to two of the three major New York City area airports, JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport. It is also the location of the New York Mets baseball team, the US Open tennis tournament, Flushing Meadows Park, Kaufman Astoria Studios, and Silvercup Studios.

New York Mets

The New York Mets are a professional baseball team based in the borough of Queens in New York City. The Mets are a member of the East Division of Major League Baseball's National League. The Mets are also often referred to as the Amazins by fan and media alike.

One of baseball's first expansion teams in 1962, the Mets were a byword for ineptitude until they surprisingly won the 1969 World Series. They have played in a total of four World Series, the most of any MLB expansion team, including a second dramatic win in 1986.

New York Cosmos

The New York Cosmos (1971–1985), known as the Cosmos for the 1977 and 1978 seasons, was a soccer franchise based in New York City and its suburbs in the North American Soccer League from 1971 to 1984. Founded by brothers Ahmet and Nesuhi Ertegün and Warner Brothers President Steve Ross, it was the strongest NASL franchise, competitively and financially.

It is known for signing the great Brazilian player Pelé who, though past his prime, was the team's and the league's top attractions during his time with the Cosmos. After the NASL folded, the Cosmos attempted to operate as an independent team in 1985 but also ceased activity.
