Binghamton is widely recognized as the birthplace of IBM, the headquarters of the Endicott Johnson shoe manufacturing company, and the birthplace of the flight simulator.
However, the city also has a rich history in minor league sports. According to the Sports Business Journal’s 2018 rankings, Binghamton was ranked as the tenth-best minor-league sports market in the United States.
Binghamton is home to a variety of minor league sports teams, including the Binghamton Black Bears (Federal Prospects Hockey League), Binghamton Rumble Ponies (Double-A Northeast baseball team), Binghamton Bulldogs (American Basketball Association), and the Broome County Stallions (Northeast Football Alliance).

Binghamton also has strong connections with over fifty professional athletes, encompassing Major League baseball players, National Football League members, professional soccer players, and more and we thought we'd introduce some of them to you!
