Sports Tickets

Americans love to buy Sports tickets! A very famous American critic, John Leonard, once said: “Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football, basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns”. There is no doubting the fact that Americans take their sports very seriously! Rivalries between teams, leagues, and regions, carefully cultivated over the years, are nurtured with constant fan support and following. That various sports reflect the seriousness of American attitudes could be gauged from a fact that teams are patronized at three levels: school, college/university, and professional level. Baseball is America’s national pastime and one of the most beautiful sports ever!
 
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the premier league of professional baseball, which consists of 30 teams, with all except one based in the United States. And while Bud Selig is the commissioner, it is the rather long list of baseball stars that the MLB has produced over the years that keeps the game as exciting as ever. Big names of American sports like Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Nolan Ryan, Reggie Jackson, Ty Cobb, Pete Rose, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth, were all ball players.
 
Like baseball, American football, too, has a premier league, the National Football League (NFL), which regulates the game of football and oversees the affairs of 32 different teams, from all over the United States. The most coveted prize in the game for any participating team is the NFL Championship. To date, the Green Bay Packers have won the most number of championships, however they are not the current champions; the New York Giants are and they have won this prestigious title on seven previous occasions as well. One of the most exciting American sports ever, football is known by the legendary players like Frank Gifford, Terry Bradshaw, Lawrence Taylor, Emmitt Smith, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Jim Brown, Red Grange, and Joe Namath, to name just a few.
 
Basketball, another of great American sports, is regulated by the International Basketball Federation. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the premier league of men’s professional basketball in the whole of North America, comprising of 29 American teams and 1 Canadian team. It is considered an honor for any team to win the most coveted trophy in the league, the NBA Championship. Presently, the Dallas Mavericks are the champions, and this by the way is their first win. The indomitable Boston Celtics have won the prestigious title on 17 different occasions. Americans simply love basketball due to big named players like Jerry West, Karl Malone, Shaquille O’Neill, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, and Michael Jordan.
