The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of the Bronx, in New York City, New York. The Yankees are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's American League. From 1923 to the present, the Yankees have played in Yankee Stadium.
The "Yankees" name originated as a variation of "American", after the team's league. This name is often shortened to "the Yanks". Their most prominently used nickname is "the Bronx Bombers" or simply "the Bombers", a reference to their home and their prolific hitting. A less used nickname is "the Pinstripers", in reference to the iconic feature on their home uniforms. Critics often refer to the team and the organization as "the Evil Empire", a term applied to the Yankees by Boston Red Sox president Larry Lucchino in a 2002 interview with the New York Times.[1] A term from the team's tumultuous late 70's, "the Bronx Zoo", is also sometimes used by detractors, as well as "the Damn Yankees", after the musical of the same name. These have all been embraced by fans.
One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1901. Then the Baltimore Orioles (not to be confused with the current Baltimore Orioles who were the Milwaukee Brewers in 1901), the team moved to the New York City borough of Manhattan in 1903, then becoming known as the New York Highlanders -- named beacuse their stadium site (Hilltop Park between 165th and 168th streets) occupied some of the highest land (elevation wise) in all of Manhattan. It was not until 1913 that "Yankees" name became the team's sole name. In 1923, the team moved across the Harlem River to the Bronx.
The Yankees have been Major League Baseball's most successful franchise with 26 World Series championships and 39 American League Pennants. They are also the most successful franchise in North American professional sports history, passing the Montreal Canadiens' 24 titles in 1999.
