The New York Yankees have their origins in Baltimore, Maryland. The team was founded in 1901 and was originally nicknamed the Orioles. For several years, the team tried to move to New York, but a dispute with the New York Giants prevented the transfer until 1903.
After the move, the team became known as the New York Highlanders, although newspapers began to refer to the team as the Yankees or the “Yanks” as early as 1904. The nickname was officially changed in 1913.
The Yankees are known to be one of the most accomplished teams in the sports history; their story is one of repeated triumph. Overall, the Yankees have won 39 Pennants, 15 Division titles and the incredible 26 World Series titles. Their last World Series win was in 2000.
The team’s first home was at Hilltop Park but since 1923 the Yankees have played their home games at the Yankee Stadium. In 2009, a new stadium was designed for the team, but it is still called Yankee Stadium.
During their 2007 season, the Yankees finished with 94 wins, 68 loses and a percentage of .580. The team made it to the playoffs but lost against the Cleveland Indians 3 games to 1.
In 2008, the Yankees did not even qualify for the playoffs, the first time the team had failed to do so in 14 years. They also played their last season in the original Yankee Stadium, finishing with a record of 89 wins and 73 loses.
The team boasts a plethora of notable – and even legendary – players: "Home Run" Baker, Wade Boggs, Yogi Berra, Joe Dimaggio, Clark Griffith, Reggie Jackson, Babe Ruth, Dave Winfield and Phil Rizzuto.
