New York City sports fans suffered some big losses on Monday, setting them up for unfortunate sports history. Monday also marked a "sports equinox" when all the major American sports play games on the same day. It's only happened 31 times in history now.
The New York Yankees lost Game 3 of the World Series to the Los Angeles Dodgers at home. If they lose one more game, then the World Series will go to the Dodgers.
The New York Giants lost on Monday Night Football to the Pittsburgh Steelers, pushing their season record to 2–6.
The New York Knicks lost 110–104 to the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.
Additionally, the New York City FC lost to FC Cincinnati in their MLS matchup.
With all of these four teams losing—MLB, NFL, NBA and MLS—New York City became the first metro area to lose games in all these leagues on the same day, per OptaSTATS.
NYC is the first metro area to lose a game in MLB, MLS, NBA & NFL on the same day (regular season or postseason).
