Legacy
The legacy of the Continental League is that it hastened the expansion and growth of Major League Baseball. Of the eight proposed Continental League markets, all but Buffalo are now home to a Major League franchise. Although William Shea's efforts to create a third major league are not well known today, Shea Stadium, home of the New York Mets from 1964–2008, was named in his honor for his efforts in bringing National League baseball back to New York.
