New York Yankees

At a Glance

Introduction

The New York Yankees are one of the most iconic and successful franchises in Major League Baseball history. The organization was founded in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, one of the American League’s original eight clubs. After two seasons in Baltimore, the franchise relocated to New York in 1903 and became known as the New York Highlanders before adopting the Yankees name in 1913. Since then, the Yankees have grown into baseball’s most recognizable franchise, establishing a tradition of excellence that has spanned well over a century.

The Yankees have represented New York since 1903 and have competed exclusively in the American League throughout their history, serving as a charter member of the league. Over the decades, the franchise has featured many of the greatest players the game has ever seen, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Whitey Ford, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and many others. This hub brings together the franchise’s greatest players, historic seasons, statistical leaders, all-time rosters, and other resources celebrating the remarkable history of the New York Yankees.
