The high school games get regular attention in the local newspapers and games regularly draw over 10,000 fans. Pennsylvania produces several college and professional players every year, and Western Pennsylvania is noted for being the home of <a href="/wiki/American_football_in_Western_Pennsylvania#The_Cradle_of_Quarterbacks" title="American football in Western Pennsylvania">numerous quarterbacks</a>, including <a href="/wiki/Dan_Marino" title="Dan Marino">Dan Marino</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joe_Montana" title="Joe Montana">Joe Montana</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Unitas" title="Johnny Unitas">Johnny Unitas</a>. </p><p>Professionally, the <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh_Steelers" title="Pittsburgh Steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> and <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Eagles" title="Philadelphia Eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a> of the <a href="/wiki/National_Football_League" title="National Football League">NFL</a> are also hugely popular. Both franchises entered the NFL in <a href="/wiki/1933_NFL_season" title="1933 NFL season">1933</a>, and the two franchises <a href="/wiki/Steagles" title="Steagles">briefly merged</a> during World War II. Both teams have fan bases across the entire state, and in the case of the Steelers, are one of the most popular sports teams in the United States, if not the world. (This is likely due to that team's dominance in the NFL during the 1970s.) While the Eagles are not quite as popular as the Steelers outside Pennsylvania, they still maintain a passionate fan base in the <a href="/wiki/Delaware_Valley" title="Delaware Valley">Philadelphia area</a> and across the United States as they are one of the more popular teams in the NFL. Often one of the most rowdy in the NFL, the Eagles fanbase is known for their passion and dedication. In fact, the Eagles' old home field, <a href="/wiki/Veterans_Stadium" title="Veterans Stadium">Veterans Stadium</a>, was the first sports stadium in the United States to have a <a href="/wiki/Jail" class="mw-redirect" title="Jail">jail cell</a> as a result of the rowdiness of the fans, but was removed only a couple years later after incidents settled down. Both fanbases though are considered to be among the best traveled fanbases in the NFL. During games in which the teams are on the road, Steelers fans and Eagles fans alike migrate to the opposing team's stadium and always have a strong presence, and in some cases, their numbers have made opposing teams feel as if they are not in their home stadium—a testament to the die-hard fanbases of professional football in Pennsylvania. </p><p>Pennsylvania has also been home to two defunct NFL franchises, both of which played in the 1920s. The <a href="/wiki/Pottsville_Maroons" title="Pottsville Maroons">Pottsville Maroons</a> played in <a href="/wiki/Pottsville,_Pennsylvania" title="Pottsville, Pennsylvania">Pottsville, Pennsylvania</a>; the franchise is notable for its part in the <a href="/wiki/1925_NFL_Championship_controversy" title="1925 NFL Championship controversy">1925 NFL Championship controversy</a>. <a href="/wiki/Frankford,_Philadelphia" title="Frankford, Philadelphia">Frankford</a> (a neighborhood in Philadelphia) also briefly had its own team in the 1920s, known as the <a href="/wiki/Frankford_Yellow_Jackets" title="Frankford Yellow Jackets">Frankford Yellow Jackets</a>.

Pittsburgh was also the home to one of the founding <a href="/wiki/Arena_Football_League" title="Arena Football League">Arena Football League</a> franchises, the Pittsburgh Gladiators. After four seasons in Pittsburgh, the team moved to <a href="/wiki/Tampa,_Florida" title="Tampa, Florida">Tampa, Florida</a>, in 1991 and became the <a href="/wiki/Tampa_Bay_Storm" title="Tampa Bay Storm">Tampa Bay Storm</a>.

The state has both major league and minor league baseball teams. The two major league baseball teams in Pennsylvania are the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Phillies" title="Philadelphia Phillies">Philadelphia Phillies</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Pittsburgh_Pirates" title="Pittsburgh Pirates">Pittsburgh Pirates</a>. The Phillies and the Pirates are two of the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(baseball)" title="National League (baseball)">eight National League franchises</a> that originated in the nineteenth century. As such, the Phillies and the Pirates have had a <a href="/wiki/Phillies%E2%80%93Pirates_rivalry" title="Phillies–Pirates rivalry">rivalry</a> for over one hundred years. The rivalry was particularly strong during the 1970s and 1980s, when the two teams frequently competed to win the <a href="/wiki/National_League_East" title="National League East">National League East</a>. The rivalry has cooled off since the Pirates moved to the <a href="/wiki/NL_Central" class="mw-redirect" title="NL Central">NL Central</a> in <a href="/wiki/1994_in_baseball" title="1994 in baseball">1994</a>, but the two teams continue to play each other every year. Although the Pirates have won more <a href="/wiki/World_Series" title="World Series">World Series</a> (five in total), the Phillies won the World Series more recently (in <a href="/wiki/2008_World_Series" title="2008 World Series">2008</a>). Both teams have had stretches of success and futility. Pennsylvania is the only state with two teams that are in the same league (National League) but in separate divisions (Pittsburgh in the NL Central and Philadelphia in the NL East). </p><p>Philadelphia and Pittsburgh were also the home of numerous defunct and relocated major league franchises, including the <a href="/wiki/American_League" title="American League">American League</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Athletics" title="Philadelphia Athletics">Philadelphia Athletics</a>, which moved to Kansas City, Missouri, in the 1950s. The franchise now plays in Oakland, California, as the <a href="/wiki/Oakland_Athletics" title="Oakland Athletics">Oakland Athletics</a>.
