The date is May 21, 2013. MLS host a press conference in conjunction with some high-up suits from both the MLB’s New York Yankees and Premier League giants Manchester City. It is in this moment that New York City FC is born.
Though this was — believe it or not — six years ago, it feels like only yesterday.
It was on this date that I decided to finally give Major League Soccer another chance. As a kid, I was always super fond of the MetroStars. After the Red Bull buyout, however, I had kinda fallen away from the club.
