The Mets, Yankees and Yes, the WNBA Liberty are in First Place

There are three first place teams in the New York area at this time. Two are the highly publicized baseball teams, each a surprise, the New York Yankees and New York Mets. The other team is the WNBA New York Liberty.

The Liberty won in Chicago vs the Sky last night and have a 2 game lead in the WNBA East just past the halfway point of the season.

Epiphanny Prince, in a memorable return to her former home court, scored 30 points in the Liberty’ (77-63) win, which leaves (14-6) New York just a half game behind the defending WNBA champion, the (15-6) Minnesota Lynx for the best record in the WNBA.

An exciting time in New York sports with the baseball Yankees and Mets ahead, augmented by another surprise team, the WNBA Liberty also atop its entity.
