During the team’s early days in 1901 the Yankees were founded in Baltimore, Maryland.
A couple of years later they moved to New York and became known as the NY Highlanders and just one decade after the team as known as the New York Yankees.
The Yankees are known to be one of the most accomplished teams in the sport’s history and their triumphs coincide with their strong background. The Yankees have won 39 Pennants, 15 Division titles and the incredible number of 26 World Series; being their last one in the year 2000.
The team’s first home was at Hilltop Park but since 1923 the Yankees have played their home games at the Yankee Stadium.
Among the most notable players this team has had, we can find Frank "Home Run" Baker, Wade Boggs, Yogi Berra, Joe Dimaggio, Clark Griffith, Reggie Jackson, Babe Ruth, Dave Winfield and Phil Rizzuto.
Last 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. |
