The New York Yankees are a baseball franchise of the MLB (Major League Baseball) started in 1903. The team sports the interlocking NY logo and vertical pinstripes on their uniform. The team plays in the South Bronx area of New York City in Yankee Stadium. Many baseball greats have played for the New York Yankees such as Babe Ruth, Whitey Ford, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. Among these teams since 1903, the Yankees have won 27 World Series championship titles in 40 trips to the "Fall Classic".

Their greatest rival in the sport are the Boston Red Sox. The two teams have been embroiled in a rivalry since the Boston Red Sox traded the then starting pitcher, Babe Ruth, to the Yankees which sparked the "Curse of the Bambino" in 1920. After the trade was made, the Boston Red Sox did not win a World Series championship for 86 years finally snapping the skid in 2004 against the St. Louis Cardinals after defeating the New York Yankees in dramatic fashion. The final trip of the Yankees to the World Series was in 2009 where they defeated the Philadelphia Phillies for their 27th world championship. The purpose of this site is to inform students about my favorite sports team's history.
