New York Apples
The New York Apples were a charter franchise of World Team Tennis (WTT). The team was founded by Jerry Saperstein who sold it to New York businessman Sol Berg during its inaugural 1974 season. The team was originally known as the New York Sets and won the 1976 WTT championship under that name led by Billie Jean King. Prior to the 1977 season, the defending champion Sets held a contest to choose a new name for the team, and Apples was selected. With their new name, the Apples produced the same results winning their second consecutive WTT title in 1977. On October 27, 1978, Berg folded the Apples after their fifth season. WTT suspended operations of the league shortly thereafter.
