Guess it is a legal as the drop ins WBUR does all day :)

In 2001 Staten Island is moving to a new state of the art stadium in
downtown Staten Island ( next to the ferry terminal) with a outfield view of
the Manhattan skyline. The Queens team is owned by the New York Mets but
will be a Blue Jays farm club for this season. They had plans to move to
Brooklyn but somehow it fell thru

Pittsfield will be the Mets club this season even though the Mets own
Queens..
