About The New York Yankees

The New York Yankees are New York City's American League baseball team. They originally came to New York in 1903 as the New York Highlanders, but have been the Yankees we know and love since 1913. Over the years, the Yankees have won a record 27 World Series Championships and have appeared in the World Series 40 times. While everyone has their own favorite team, we know that we proudly support the best team in baseball.
