BINGHAMTON FRANCHISE HISTORY
While professional baseball in Binghamton, NY dates back to 1877, the Binghamton Rumble Ponies’ story begins in 1992. It was that year that the New York Mets organiza- tion moved their Double-A affiliate, the Bills, from Williamsport, Pennsylvania approxi - mately 125 miles northeast to Binghamton, New York.
The team was renamed the Binghamton Mets and welcomed with open arms by a city that had suffered 23 years without a professional baseball team to call their own. When tick- ets went on sale for the inaugural season, thousands of fans braved the rain and waited in a line that snaked for blocks through the city.”
Fans brave the rain for Binghamton Mets tickets in 1992.
Binghamton Municipal Stadium was constructed in nine months for $4.6 million and hosted its first B-Mets game on April 19, 1992 after three- straight postponed games. Binghamton’s house-warming party was a strong one as they defeated the Harrisburg Senators 1-0 in front of 5,126 fans.” “Led by Eastern League Manager of the Year, Steve Swisher, the B-Mets treated their fans to a stellar inaugural season. They went 79-59, finished 2nd in the Eastern League, and earned a trip to the postseason. The B-Mets dispatched the Harrisburg Senators in the semi-finals in four games, winning a 14-inning marathon to clinch the series. Trailing the Canton-Akron Indians 2-1 in the Eastern League Championship Series, the B-Mets rallied to take Game 4 and earned their first title with a 5-2 win in the deci - sive fifth game. Bobby J. Jones, the staff ace and Eastern League Pitcher of the Year, earned the win in the championship game.
In their first season, the B-Mets welcomed 278,492 fans to Municipal Stadium, the highest single-season attendance for any team to ever call Binghamton home. The record stands to this day.
During the winter after the 1993 season, a group of local businessmen teamed up to make the Binghamton Mets a truly local product. Mike & Chris Urda, George Scherer and David & William Maines purchased the team from the New York Mets in January 1994 . The 1994 season was another banner year for the B-Mets and the city. Binghamton became the center of the Double-A universe on July 11, 1994 when the team hosted the Double-A Association All-Star Game. 6,524 fans packed into Municipal Stadium and watched the American League defeat the National League 10-4. The All-Star Game would not be the only excitement Binghamton would see that sea- son. B-Mets celebrate 1992 title with Binghamton Mayor Juanita Crabb

BINGHAMTON FRANCHISE HISTORY The B-Mets won the North Division under John Tamargo with a wire-to-wire perfor- mance, finishing the year at 82-59. The B-Mets deftly swept the New Haven Ravens in three games in the North Division Championship, with each game decided by a single run. Binghamton faced the Harrisburg Senators in the Eastern League Championship. After the B-Mets dropped the series opener, ace Bill Pulsipher got the team back on track in a big way in Game 2 on Sep-tember 2. The hulking left-hander baffled the Senators for nine innings, hurling the first no-hitter in Binghamton Mets history. His win tied the series. In Game 3, the B-Mets trailed by two in the ninth, Edgardo Alfonzo hit a game-tying two- run homer before Frank Jacobs belted a walk-off solo shot. In Game 4, Chris Roberts se - cured Binghamton’s second championship in three years, twirling a complete game in front of 5,259 fans at Municipal Stadium.
In 1996, with Chris Saunders racking up a franchise-record 105 RBI, the team went 76-66 and made the postseason. Unlike 1992 and 1994, this club was not able to supply the magic in the postseason falling to the Portland Sea Dogs in the North Division Championship series. Binghamton punched their ticket to the playoffs in 1998, 2000 and 2004, but made first-round exits each time.

In 2001, the naming rights for the stadium were sold to the New York State Electric and Gas Company. The franchise would call NYSEG Stadium home from 2001 through 2020. In 2021, the Rumble Ponies announced a groundbreaking nam - ing rights agreement with Mirabito. The stadium is now called Mirabito Stadium. After a nine-year postseason drought, the B-Mets compiled one of their best seasons in franchise history in 2013. The club racked up a record 86 wins with Eastern League Most Valuable Player Allan Dykstra and Manager of the Year Pedro Lopez. The B-Mets won their first regular season division title since 2000, but were swept in the first round of the play - offs by the Trenton Thunder. In 2014, the B-Mets made amends and finished second in the Eastern Division with 83 victories. Binghamton trailed the Portland Sea Dogs by four runs in Game 1 of the Division Championship Series before mounting a memorable comeback. After tying the game with three runs in the eighth inning, TJ Rivera belted a walk-off three-run homer in the ninth, capping a personal four-hit game. Binghamton dropped the next two games before re - covering with victories on the road in Games 4 & 5, sealing their first playoff series victory in 20 years. 2014 Eastern League Champion - ship Series

The B-Mets continued their roll by beating the Rich mond Flying Squirrels in the first two games of the Eastern League Championship Series in Virginia. In Game 3, B-Mets starter Steven Matz carried a no-hitter into the eighth in front of 5,904 at NYSEG Stadium. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, Jayce Boyd ripped a walk-off double into the right- field alley, giving the B-Mets their first Eastern League Cham-pionship in two decades. In 2015, Lopez navigated the B-Mets to a 77-64 record and secured a postseason berth for the third straight year, a franchise record. The team’s all-time winningest manager was inducted into Binghamton’s Baseball Shrine in September 2015, but his club was swept in the Division Series by Reading. In December 2015, John Hughes acquired full ownership of the franchise from Mike Urda. The new president made it clear that professional baseball would be played in Binghamton for years to come. On November 3, 2016, the new Rumble Ponies identity of the team was unveiled at Benja - min Franklin Elementary School in Binghamton. The name reflects Binghamton’s standing as the “Carousel Capital of the World.” BINGHAMTON FRANCHISE HISTORY
Nearly a century ago, local businessman and philanthropist George F. Johnson commissioned and funded the construction of six carousels to be enjoyed free-of-charge by the public through- out the Binghamton area. Almost 100 years later, these cherished artifacts continue to be used and beloved by the community.
Riding the momentum of a new name and image, in addition to several improvements to Mirabito Stadium, the Rumble Ponies embarked on their first season with vigor in 2017. The team welcomed more than 190,000 fans over the course of the season. The Rumble Ponies teamed up with their fans in a “#BingItHome” social media campaign in the summer of 2017 to convince the Eastern League to award Binghamton the rights to host the 2020 Eastern League All-Star Game. In 2018, the Rumble Ponies welcomed Tim Tebow to the Southern Tier. The former NFL quarterback added to his legend, launching a homer in his first plate appearance en route to being named Mid-season All-Star later that season. On November, 22 2021 David and Karen “KJ” Sobotka of New York based Southpaw Reources LLC, assumed ownership of the Rumble Ponies from Hughes. In addition, former Bingham - ton Mayor Richard C. David and the Rumble Ponies announced a 23-year lease extension keeping the Ponies in the Southern Tier for decades to come. The Rumble Ponies’ identity reveal at Benjamin Franklin High School

BINGHAMTON FRANCHISE HISTORY In 2023, the Rumble Ponies had a historic season, highlighted by an enthralling second- half run to reach the Eastern League Championship Series for the first time since 2014. Binghamton went 39-27 in the second half, and 18-5 over their final 23 games, to clinch a postseason spot for the first time since 2017. The Rumble Ponies then swept their Subway Series-rival, the Somerset Patriots (Yankees AA Affiliate), in the best-of-three Eastern League Division Series. In the series-clinching Game 2, RHP Dom Hamel was lights-out, allowing just three hits over seven and two thirds’ innings with eight strikeouts and only two walks.
The Rumble Ponies pitching staff was led by Mets Minor League Pitcher of the Year Christian Scott, Hamel, and Blade Tidwell. On September 7, RHP Joander Suarez threw the eighth no-hitter in franchise history at Dunkin’ Park against the Hartford Yard Goats. Despite falling to the Erie SeaWolves in the ELCS, it was an incredible season that Rumble Ponies fans will always remember.
On April 26, 2024 the Rumble Ponies announced an agreement to sell the team to Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH), a company that owns and

The Rumble Ponies also announced that Richard Tylicki, a long-time member of the Rumble Ponies front office who had served as acting General Manager since November 2023, would continue on as the team’s permanent GM. It was a year in which fans had great pride watching Scott make his MLB debut on May 4 at Tropicana Field against the Tampa Bay Rays. In his Major League debut, Scott allowed just one run and five hits over 6.2 frames. Fans also witnessed Brandon Sproat’s dominance as he soared through the Mets system, en route to being named Eastern League Pitcher of the Year and Mets Minor League Pitcher of the Year. Sproat was 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA and 0.87 WHIP in 11 starts with Binghamton.

Binghamton was one of two teams in Minor League Baseball to win 90 games in 2025, along with Detroit’s High-A West Michigan. Binghamton became the fifth Double-A team since 1950 to reach 90 wins in a season and just the second team this century.
