"The sun came out today, we're born again, there's new grass on the field,
aroundin' third and headed for home."- Centerfield - John Fogerty
Baseball is back! Major League Baseball began on March 26th, 2026, with an exciting game between the New York Mets and the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Now, it's the Binghamton Rumble Ponies' turn. Game one of the 2026 season kicks off on Friday, April 3rd, as the Rumble Ponies begin to defend their 2025 Eastern League Championship title in New Hampshire for a three-game series with the Fischer Cats, featuring a new coach, Michael Collins.

Fireworks nights will be a part of the fun on selected dates throughout the season.
