New York Yankees Booking Details
The New York Yankees compete in Major League Baseball’s American League East division along with the Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays. In 1901, the Yankees began play as the Baltimore Orioles. Bill Devery and Frank Farrell purchased the team and moved it to New York City, where they became known as the New York Highlanders before being renamed in 1913 as the Yankees. The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises and is controlled by the family of the late George Steinbrenner, who bought the team in 1973. Games are played at Yankee Stadium (they moved into the new Yankee Stadium in 2009, previously they played at the original stadium from 1923-1973 and 1976-2008).
The Yankees are one of the most famous and successful sports franchises in not only the United States but also the world. They have won a total of 27 World Series titles and 40 American League pennants, both of which are Major League Baseball records. They have won more titles than any other team in the NFL, MLB, NBA or NHL. Among the Yankees’ greatest players are Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, Derek Jeter, Reggie Jackson, Mariano Rivera, Dave Winfield, Goose Gossage, Jorge Posada, Don Mattingly, Andy Pettitte and Bernie Williams.
