One of the first eight franknesses from the American League, the club was founded with Baltimore, with the Maryland in 1901 under the name of Orioles of Baltimore, before moving in New York in 1903 and becoming Highlanders of New York. Since 1923, the Yankees play Stadium Yankee. The Yankees were the frankness which gained the most titles in MLB, gaining 26 titles of the World Series and 39 American League Championship Series . Their 26 titles make from it the most victorious frankness in all the professional sport from North America, in front of the Canadians of Montreal, who had 24 titles in 1999.

History

Origins (1901-1902)

At the end of the season 1900, the American League or the (in English American League or Al ) reorganized, decided to affirm itself as a new major league, under the push of Round of applause Johnson then president of. Known as the Western League (in English Western League ) until 1899, the American Ligue makes move five of its teams and adds additional teams in three cities of the east coast, including Baltimore, in Maryland. Baltimore had lost its team of the National league (in English National League or NL ) in 1899 when this league had eliminated four teams. The preliminary draft was to put a team in the Town of New York, but Giants of New York in the League National and their connection policies with Tammany Hall prevented some.

The team, known like Orioles of Baltimore, started to play in 1901 with John McGraw as manager. McGraw with Johnson, rigidly applied the rules to the play and the ground, and changed league to manage Giants in the middle of the season 1902. A semane later, the owner of Giants having taken majority of the control of Orioles and the remainder of the players. The American Ligue embarked in the projects, always hoping to transfer the team to New York.

In January 1903, " a conference of paix" was held between the two leagues to regulate arguments and to try to find a way of coexisting. ONE of the results of the conference were that the national league agree to leave the " circuit junior" has to establish a frankness in New York. The new owners of Orioles, Frank J. Farrel and William S. Devery, found a stage of baseball not blocked by Giants, and equips it with Baltimore moved in New York.

Highlanders (1903-1912)

The stage of baseball was Hilltop Park which was located at the 165e Rue and Broadway in Manhattan, close to the most point on the island. The editor William Randoloh of the New York Evening Journal referred them like the " Envahiseurs" in 1903, but chang in spring of 1904 with the name has which they would carry finally: Highlanders of New York. The name was a reference to the site of the team and also to a military unit British The Gordon Highlanders, which is adjusted with the president of the team of 1903 to 1906, Joseph Gordon.

As Highlanders, the team was success twice, finishing only second in 1904 and 1910. A good part of the days in Hilltop Park was passed in the cellar. It is the corruption of the owner and some activitiés debatable of some of the players (especially the first goal Hal Drives out) who were suspected of betting on the play. Such suspicions, however, were never proven.

The major point of the existence of Highlander comes at the last day from the season 1904. The launcher Jack Chesbro of New York launched bad launched in ninth handle which has éventuellemnt permi with the champions of marker for Americans of Boston.

This historical significance had several way. First of all the presence of Highlanders in the race led to the annocne of Giants which they will not take part in the world Series, claiming that he would not play a team of " leagues mineures". Although Boston had gained plus^tpt, Giants kept their word and always refused to take part. The recation forces resulting by the press because with the owner from Giants John T. Bruch to take a positon and carried out the committee to officialize the rules controlling the world Series. It was the last time that the world Series would not be played until the year of the strike in 1994. In fact as the last time as the team of the American league of Boston will become formally later in 1908, Red Sonx, would beat the team of the American league of New York in part of championship delimiting the champions.

New owner, new residence, new name

The relations were tended between Highlanders and their rivals of the National league, Giants, which had tested years before leaving the team New York. In 1911, the Sports shirt Ground, the residence of Giants, was destroyed in a fire, and Highlanders left Giants played Hilltop Parl while the Sports shirt Ground were reconstuites. In 1913, Highlanders with moved in the Sports shirt ground reconstuits after their contract to play Hilltop Park was finished. Playing now on the river of Harlem, far from their house in altitude, the name of the " Highlanders" did not have any more its. Not of the " Yankees" was applied from time to time to the club like an alternative of the " Americans". April 7th, 1904, a history of camp of entrapinement of Richmond, Virgine carried the headline " Yankkes will start at the house of the South AUjourd'hui" The New York Evening Journal shouted: " The YANKESS BEAT BOSTON". Now, in 1903, the New York Highlanders officially changed their name for the Yankees of New York, which will be still today the name of the team.

In the semione, the Farrel owners and Devery separated, and they were both in the terrible need for money At the beginning of 1915, the duet sold the team to Colonel Jacob Ruppert and to the Tillinghast Captain Hommedieu Huston. Rupert has inherits a fortune brewery and had also been related to the machine of Tammany Hall, being used as deputy during eight years. He said " later; For 450.000 $, we acquired an orphan club without clean house, the players with the capacities remarkable and prestige". However, they now have a having owner of the deep pockets and a kindness to dig and produce a gaining team. The Yankees were going to acquirérir more prestige than Ruppert had never been able to consider.

The era Ruth and Gehrig and the Stage

In the neighborhoods of the years 1920, the Yankees had a relaxation with Red Sox of Boston and White Sox of Chicago. The three were called the “Insurrectos” because in the way which their actions opposed the President of the Johnson league, while being opposed to the five other teams of the league, which were known as “the Five honest” This relaxation refunded the Yankees, as the two new owners would start to increase the register of the personnel. Many of these new players who would contribute to the success of the team came from Red Sox from Boston. The owner of Red Sox, the business manager of theater Harry Frazee, had bought the team on the credit and needed to refund his loans to buy Fenway Park de Fenway Park Trust. Without the possession of Fenway, Johnson could put easily another team inside. Red Sox was also with most extremely of the “Insurrectos” and faced a great quantity of expensive legal combat.

From 1919 to 1922, the Yankees acquired the launchers Waite Hoyt, Carl Mays and Herb Pennock, the receiver Wally Schang, the stop-short Everett SCott and the troisime drunk Joe Dugan, all Red Sox.

However, the launcher transformed into acrobat Babe Ruth was endowed the most with all. Babe accumulated 2.213 points produced during its career (classifying it second in the history of the Major Leagues), added up 1.971 as Yankees (classifying it second in the history of the Yankees), and was the owner of the record of more than blow of circuit in 1919. Ruth arrived at New York in January 1920. Frazee quoted the request for Ruth for a pay rise after having been the player best paid in baseball like reason for the transaction. Frazee also wished to help the Yankees, who had taken his side in the legal combat against Ban Johnson. The situation was not helped by the fact that Ruth was regarded as a problem. This would continue in its years with the Yankees, but the possession of New York was more tolerant as a long time as it has brought the spectators and of the championships at the stage of baseball.

The exit of the exchange will haunt Red Sox for the 84 following years. They will not gain any world series of 1919 up to 2004, being often eliminated from hunting because of successes of the Yankees. This phenomenon was known like the Curse of Bambino like the failure of Red Sox and the success of the Yankees seemed almost supernatural, and all had the air because of one only exchange.

Another important newcomer during this time was the manager Miller Huggins and the managing director ED Barrow. Huggins was engaged in 1919 by Ruppert while Huston was useful in Europe with the American Army. That will lead later to a cut between the two owners, when Ruppert bought possibly Huston in 1923. Barrow lit the council after the season 1920, and, like much of new players of the Yankees, it had previously formed part of the organization of Red Sox, being their manager since 1918. It will be used of managing director or president of the Yankees for the 25 next years, and deserved the credit for the success of the team during this period. It was especially noted for the development of the system of the subsidiary companies of the Yankees.

The exploits of striker of circuit of Ruth proved that it was so popular with the public which they started to attract more people than their owners, Giants. In 1921, when the Yankees made their first appearance in world Series, which was against Giants, the Yankees was to leave the Sports shirt Grounds after the season 2002. John McGraw said that it had been commented on that the Yankees had “moves at some place with the variation, like Queen. ” Rather, with the sorrow of McGraw, the Yankees started to build a new stage of baseball in Bronx, on the other side of the Harlem River beside the Sports shirt Ground. In 1922, the Yankees are turned over in world Series, still making vis-a-vis a defeat with the hands of Giants. During this time, the team of construction moved with remarkable speed and finished the new stage of baseball in less than one year.

In 1923, the Yankees moved in their new house, the Stadium Yankee with the 161e Rue Is and To rivet Which occurred. This site was selected because the underground line Jerome Avenu (now NYCTA train number 4) practically has a stop on the walls outside the stage. It was the first stage of baseball with three balconies and a capacity of 58.000 seats. In the first part with the Stadium Yankee, Babe Ruth struck a circuit, which adjusted that they was its blows of circuits and who fed the payment of the stage, giving him the nickname of “the House that Ruth has Construite”. It will finish the year with “only” 41 circuits, but it had 170 goals on balls, and struck for .393, the highest average with the stick for a Yankee with the Stadium Yankee.

This year, the first year in their new stage, the Yankees faced Giants for the third year consecutive in series. The acrobat of Giants Casey Stengel, which was then called “the Old Case”, struck two circuits to gain the two parts but the Yankees finally triumphed. Stengel will become later a Yankee but as manager. The alignment of the Yankees in 1927 was so powerful that they were known like “the Row of the Murderers (Murderer' S Row)” and some regard the team as being the best in the history of baseball. (Bine that similar complaints were made for the other sections Yankee, in particular those of 1939,1961 and 1998). The Yankees had a card of 110 victories and only 44 defeats, and swept the Pirates of Pittsburgh in the world Series of 1927. Ruth struck a total of 60 circuits in 1927 and has establishes a record of circuit in one season which will remain during 34 years. It also struck for .356 and causes production of 164 points. During this time, the first goal Lou Gehrig at its first great season, struck for .373 with 47 produced triple and 175 points, beating the one season old mark of points produced of Ruth (171 in 1921).

Ruth striking third in the order, and Gehrig in front of two other bruiser: Bob “The Files” Meusel which played each position of external acrobat, and Tony Lazzeri, which played second goal. Lazzeri is currently classified third in the league for the circuits in 1927, with 18, and it struck for .309 with 102 produced points. Meusel struck for .337 and 103 produced points. Speed was another weapon used by both: Lazzeri stole 22 goals while Meusel was second in the league with 24. These numbers all were due, partially, with the field centers and the leader Earle Combs. There it struck for .356, a presence the paths de.414, and has to carry out the American league with 231 blows over this season (a record of team which held until Don Matingly strikes 238 in 1986). The general average with the stick of the team in 1927 was of .307. The Yankees would repeat as champions of the American league in 1928, pushing back reappearing them Athletics of Philadelphia. They thus will sweep Cardinals de St.Louis in the world Series of 1928. Ruth struck for 10 sure blows in 16 appearances with the stick, with an average of .625, a new record for a series. Three as of its sour blows were circuits. During this time, Gehrig went there from 6 into 11 (.545), marking four times.

During three next years, Athletics have remport the championship of the American league and two world series. In 1932, Joe McCarthy entered as manager, Re would restore the Yankees at the top of the American league. They met Cubs of Chicago in the world Series of 1932, sweeping them and beginning a new sequence record of 12 consévutives victories (a marqui which will hold until it beat it them-even in 2000). This series was famous because of famous “Called Shot” of Babe Ruth in the third part in Wrigley Field. This would be an installation” the song of swan” to its career of glorious after-season, as Ruth will leave the Yankees, going to Boston Braves of the national league in 1934, and will know the series never again.

The era DiMaggio (1936-1951)

The race of the Yankees during the years 1930 could also be called “the era of McCarthy”, as manager Joe McCarthy (no relation with the Senator of the same name) will direct the team to new heights. With the departure of Ruth in 1934, Gehrig will be able to finally leave its shade. However, a Gehrig era ago. After one season as the principal force of the Yankees, new Titan appeared, Joe DiMaggio. The young field centers of San Francisco had an immediate impact, striking for .323,29 circuits and producing 125 points in its season recruit in 1936.

The team began one without preceding with the conquest from four world series consecutive between 1936 and 1939 behind the stick by DiMaggio, Gehrig and Frank Crosetti. They were helped by the personnel of launcher, carried out by Red Ruffing and Lefty Gomez, and the whole team was anchored by the receiver Bill Dickey. For majority 1939 they have to do it without Gehrig, reached of a disease which forced it with the retirement and has to sadden the world of baseball.

During this sequence, Tigers de Détroit was the principal competition of the Yankees. When the series finally came, however, they had a small trouble. During the 2nd part of the series of 1936, they hammered Giants 18-4, publishing a record for the greatest number of points marked in Series world, a record which holds always today. They beat Giants 4 to 2 in the series, and to beat them still 4 to 1 the following year. They swept Cubs of Chicago and 1938 and Reds of Cincinnati in 1939.

After one season of summer of 1941, one year celebrated much which is often described like the last year of “the golden age” before the second world war and other realities occurred. Ted Williams of Red Sox was in hunting for the imperceptible average with the stick of 400, qu' it reached the last day of the season. During this time, DiMaggio, which had obtained a sequence of 61 consecutive parts with Seals of San Francisco, began a sequence on May 15th which was spread out over 56 parts.

The last part of the sequence came on July 16th in League Park from Cleveland. The sequence finally was stopped in Cleveland Stadium the following night with an enormous crowd. A crucial factor finished the sequence when the player of third goal Ken Keltner, which stopped two balls that DiMaggio had struck really hard with the left.

The modern historians of baseball regard as not very probable that somebody still strikes for .400, of with the change in the way which the game is played, and which it will be extremely difficult to approach the sequence of 56 parts of DiMaggio, which is extremely with the top of second the best (44) and a phenomenon of the modern days.

The Yankees made only one mouthful of Dodgers of Brooklyn in the Series of 1941. Then, two months and an opening after the final play of the Yankees, the attacks on Pearl Harbor took place, and much better players of baseball were sent in the second world war. The rows of war diluted of the major leagues nevertheless brought the Yankees in series still, and the team divided the championship of the world series with Cardinals of Saint Louis in 1942 and 1943.

After 1943, the team entered a piece of collapse, and McCarthy left early in the season 1946. After some provisional managers who came and left, Bucky Harris and to enter, and brought back the Yankees to the championship in 1947 and one good series against Dodgers which saw the Yankees gained in seven parts, and was one predicts things to come for a good part of the next decade.

Although they finished with only three parts behind the champions, Indians of Cleveland in 1948, Harris was slackening and the Yankees brought Casey Stengel to manage. Casey had a reputation to be a clown and had a reputation to manage bad teams, like the Brave men of Boston in the middle of the years 1930. Naturally, if this selection were received with skepticism. Its tenure, however, would reveal more succeeded in the history of the Yankees up to this point. The team of the Yankees of 1949 were seen as “oppressed” who came from behind to catch and astonish powerful Red Sox on the two last parts of the season, a series which fed the beginning of the competition of Red Sox-Yankees. After season appeared easier, when the Yankees made fall Dodgers four parts to one.

At this time, the great career of DiMaggio declined. It was often reported that it wanted to take its retirement before he becomes an “ordinary” player. Its retirement has at once was hastened by the wounds with the back of its heel. 1951 received the name of “Yankee Clipper”. However, it also marked arrived of the “Kid of Oklahoma”, Mickey Mantle, which has was one of the new stars which would fill the vacuums.

The section of Stengel in the years 1950 (1951-1959)

Improving the clubs of the era of McCarthy, the team gained the championship of the world series five consévutives times (1949-1953) under Stengel, which always constitutes a record of the major leagues. Carried out by the loved player of the field Mickey Mantle centers, of the launcher Whitey Ford and of the receiver Yogi Berra, the teams of Stengel gained 10 championships and seven titles of the world series in twelve seasons as a manager of the Yankees. Casey Stengel was also Master of the publicity of the team, and even made the cover of the Time review in 1955.

Years 1950 were also a decade of significant individual achievement for the players of the Yankees. For example, in 1956, Mantle gained to it triple crown of the major leagues, leading the two leagues for the average to the stick (.353), of the circuits (52) and produced points (130).

They gained more than 100 parts in 1954. but Indians took the championship of the American League with 111 victories. In 955, Dodgers have finalleemnt beaten the Yankees in the World Series, after five defeats of series vis-a-vis the Yankees in 1941,1947,1949,1952 and 1953. But the Yankees returned more extremely the following year. October 8th, 1956, in the fifth part of 1956 against Dodgers, the launcher Don Larsen launched the only perfect match in the history of the world Series. IT is not only the only launcher to have launched a perfect match in the world Series but also a match without point nor blow on. The Yankees however went gains another world series, and Larsen gained the honors of the MVP of the world series.

The players of the Yankees also dominated the reward of the MVP of the American league, which gained it six times in the decade (1950 Rizzuto, 1951 Berra, 1954 Berra, 1955 Berra, 1956 Mantle, 1957 Mante). The Launcher Bob Turley also gained Cy Young in 1958, the honor which has existed for three years.

The Yankees lost the world series of 1957 vis-a-vis the Brave men of Milwaukee. According to the series, Giants of New York and Dodgers of Brooklyn left the town of New York for California, leaving the Yankees like the only team of New York. During the world series of 1958, the Yankees obtained their revenge against the Brave men and became the second team to gain series after it lost series 3 to 1.

For the decade, the Yankees gained six championship of the world series (in 1950,1951,1952,1953,1956 and 1958) and eight championship of the American league (in 1955 and 1957). Carried out by Mantle, Ford, Berra, Elston Howard (the first player of the Yankees Afro-Americans), and Roger Husbands, recently acquired, the Yankees bursts in the new decade seeking to copy the remarkable success of the years 1950.

Boys M&M (1960-1964)

During the possession of Arnold Johnson, Athletics of Kansas City exchanged several young players with the Yankees for growing old money and veterans (a little in the same way that Red Sox had made under Frazee). When they bought Athletics of Philadelphia of the family of Connie Mack in 1954, he was already the owner of the Stadium Yankee, but the American owners of the League forced it to sell the Stage like a condition for the purchase. He was also a associate of businesses for a long time owners of Yankees LED Webb and daN Topping.

This significantly improved the future prospects for the Yankees. In December 1959, a young player named Roger Maris was acquired not an exchange, and it will make large things in New York.

Many fans, and even of other teams, frequently showed the Aces to be operated like a firm team of the Yankees. However, in December 1960, the executive of the insurance of Chicago Charles O.Finley buys the Aces of the property of Johnson who was deceased in March. Once it did it, it immediately finished “the special relation” between its team and the Yankees, cutting their easy provision promising players. This development could have marked the beginning of the end for this dynasty of the Yankees.

In 1960, Maris carried out the league for the percentage of power, the points produced, and the blows of more than one goal. It finished second for the circuits (behind Mantle), the total of goals, and it gained a glove of gold and the title of the MVP of the American league. This, however, was a prelude for the year which would follow.

The year 1961 one of was more animated memorable years in the history of the Yankees. Throughout the summer, Mantle and Maris struck circuits at the rate/rhythm record with hunting for the record of Babe Ruth which was of 60, the press and the fans started to name the duet the “M&M Boys”. Finally, a severe infection with the hips forced Mantle to leave alignment and to drop the race mid-September finishing the season with 54 circuits.

October 1st, the last day of the season, Maris sent the shooting of Tracy Stallard of Boston in the good position of the right field of the Stadium Yankee, beating the record with 61. However, the Police chief Ford Frick issued that the two records are kept, since the record of Ruth took place in 154 parts, and the success of Marris in 162 parts. They will be 30 years before a committee of eight members of major baseball gave the only record to Marris until it is broken by Mark McGwire on September 8th, 1998. Marris always holds the record of the American league.

The Yankees gained the championship with a card of 109 - 53 and went to beat Reds of Cincinnati in five parts to gain the world series of 1961. The total of 109 victories by the club of 61 is the third higher total in the historie of the frankness, behind the 114 victories of 1998 and of the 110 victories of 1927. The Yankees of 1961 made a success of a record of major for the blows of circuit by a team with 240, a total which was exceeded only in 1996 by Orioles of Baltimore which struck 257 using an indicated striker of them. Husbands gained its second trophy of the consecutive MVP while Whitey Ford gained Cy Young.

Because of the excellence of Husbands, Mantle, and gaining it of the MVP World Series, Ford, an effective personnel of launcher, a stellar defense of team, the depth of the strong team and to provide it, and its general prevalence, Yankees 1961 are regarded as one of the largest teams in the history of baseball, often compared with their brothers of 1927, 1939 and 1938.

In 1962, the Yankees have a new rival in their city with the new team of expansion of the National league, the Mets of New York. This year, the Mets lost a total record of 120 parts while the Yankees gained the World Series of 1962, their tenth in the sixteen last years, beating Giants of San Francisco in seven parts.

The Yankees will once again reach Traditional spring in 1963, but they will be swept in four parts by Dodgers of Los Angeles. Behind the MVP of the World Series Sandy Koufax, Gift Drysdale and JOhny Podres, the rotation of leaving Dodgers launched four complete parts and granted only four point. It was the first time that the Yankees were swept in a world Series.

The feeling burns after the season, Houk leaves its chair of manager to become the managing director of the team and Berra, which has just taken its retirement as player, is named the new one managing Yankees.

The growing old Yankees returned for a fifth consecutive world series in 1964 - their fourteenth appearance in the 16 last years - to face Cardinals of Saint-Louis in a series immortalized by the book of David Halberstam, October 1964. In spite of a courageous performance of Mantle, including a circuit inside the ground at the beginning of ninth handle at the time of the third part vis-a-vis the raising device of Cardinals Barney Schultz, the Yankees fell to the hands from Cardinals in seven parts, and Bérard was returned. It was the last appearance of the Yankees to the world Series during the 12 next years.

New possession and decline (1964-1971)

After the season 1964, CBS bought 80 pourcent Yankees of Topping and Webb for 11.2 million dollars. Jokers of time wondered whether Walter Cronkite would become the manager, and perhaps that Yogi Berra will make information. Topping and Webb had had the Yankees for 20 years, missing the world Series only five times, and a card of 10-5 in World Series.

By contrast, the teams that CBS had never went in world Series, and in the first year of the new possession in 1965, the Yankees finished second for the first time in 40 years; the introduction of the fishing out amateur in 1965 as meant as the Yankees of could more signed any players than they wanted. Webb sold his 10 pourcent this year.

In 1966, the team finished last in the American league for the first time since 1912. Johnny Keane, the gaining manager of Cards into 1964 which joined the Yankees in 1965, was returned during the season and the managing director Ralph Houk doubled his duty as manager until the end of the year. Topping, which had remained like owner at 10% and chair it of the team, sold its last actions with CBS at the end of the season which named Michael Burke as president.

The Yankees finished penultimate the following year, in 1967, while the former director of the club-schools Lee MacPhail returned in the organization as a managing director, Houk substitute. Although fortunes of the team improved a little, they will still not become serious competitors until 1974.

Various reasons were given for declines, but only and the larger was than the Yankees was in the incapacity to replace their super growing old high-speed motorboats with news, as they had regularly done in the five decades previous. The “special relations” of the Yankees with Athletics could have been a way to mask this problem. At semi-decade 60, the Yankees could offered some exchanges, and Charles Finley had taken Athletics in new directions. Some suggested that the Yankees paid the price to rather bring the black players in the organization than in other team, although this theory is discussed.

Also during the Sixties, the Yankees lost two as of its organizers. The team transfered Mel Allen after the season 1964, for reasons which the club did not explain yet today. Two years later, Red Barber - the old voice of Dodgers which joined the team of the Yankees in 1954 - has also transfered him. Some blames Barber to have mentioned in wave an assistance of 413 spectators to a part in residence of 1966 against White Sox.

Steinbrenner, Martin, Jackson and the Zoo of Bronx (1973-1981)

A group of investors, carried out by the naval manufacturer of Cleveland George Steinbrenne, bought the club of CBS for 8,7 million on January 3rd, 1973. Mike Burke remained as the president until April, when it left. In one year, Steinbrenner satisfied the majority of its other partners and became the principal owner of the team, although Burke continued to hold a minority action of the club in the years 1980.

Steinbrenner was responsible during the restoration of the Stadium Yankee (prepared by Burke and the mayor of New York John Lindsay), who was carried out over one two years period (1974-75) during which the Yankees played their part in the residence of the mets, Shea Stadium in Flushing, Queens. After the season 1974, Steinbrenner made a movement which began the modern era from the autonomous players by signing the launcher high-speed motorboat Jim “Catfich” Hunter d' Oakland.

Halfway during the season 1975, Steinbrenner has engages the old second goal Billy Martin cmome manager, and during the 13 next years it has it renvoy and re-enlists several times. With Martin with the bar, the Yankees reached the world series in 1976, but were swept by Reds of Cincinnati.

Steinbrenner has continues its purchases of overestimated agents free, by signing the acrobat star Reggie Jackson, who had been exchanged of Athletics in Orioles of Baltimore at the beginning of the season, for wages record of 600.000 $ per annum. Steinbrenner, Martin and Jackson are enguirlander on several occasions in connection with the five season old contract of Jackson. Nméanmoins, in the sixth part of the world Series of 19777, Jackson proved its value by striking three blow of circuits three different heights against three different launchers of Dodgers to give the series to the Yankees, gaining the nickname of “Mr. October (Mr Octobre)”.

Later towards end of the year 70, the race for the championships often finished between the Yankees and Red Sox, and for the fans of the two clubs, each part between the two became important and brings a competition which was often bitter and pitiless, with the brawls frequently exploding between the players and the fans of the two clubs.

The competition Sox Yankees-Red led during the season 1978. July 14th, 1978, the Yankees were with 14,5 parts behind Red Sox. The Yankees returned from the back, and they met in a crucial series of four parts in Fenway at the beginning of September. The Yankees were with only with four parts behind them. In what will become known under the name of the “Massacre of Boston”, the Yankees swept Red Sox, gaining the parts, 15-3, 13-2, 7-0 and 7-4. The third match was a washing by Ron Guidry, which took the orders of the league with nine washings, gaining 25 parts (against only three defeats) and an average of deserved points of 1.74. Guidry also finished with 246 withdrawals with the stick, but Nolan Ryan with its 260 withdrawals with the stick deprived Guidry of gained triple crown.

Over the last days of the season, the two clubs finished the regular season in a tie for the first rank in division Is of American League. A part (the 163e) between the two teams was held to decide which will pass to the race for the championship, and the part was held in Fenway Park of Boston. With Guidry against a former Yankee Mike Torrez. Red Sox took initiative 2 to 0 as of the beginning. In the seventh handle, the Yankees planted piles DNS the hearts of the fans of the rivals when Bucky Dent caused production of three points with a circuit over “the Vert monster”, giving the fronts to Yankees 3 to 2. The circuit solo of Reggie Jackson to the sleeve according to would seal final the 5 to 4 for the Yankees who gain the season and their third title in division Is of sharp; that also given the 25e victory of Guidry. (The exit of this party, eliminated Red Sox, being one of the emotive moments of the history of the team which made accept the partisans of Red Sox which was believed under the kind of a curse of the Yankees).

After having beaten Royals of Kansas City for the third consecutive year in the series of championship of the American league, the Yankees faced Dogers for the world Series of 1978. They lost to them the first two part on the road, but returned to gain to them three matches with the Stadium Yankee before flying away towards their 22e championship of the world Series in the part six in Los ANgelesAprès to have beaten the Town of Kansas Royale for the third consecutive year in the ALCS, the Yankee faced the Crafty beggars still in the 1978 Championship of the world. They lost the first two plays on the road, but returned to then gain all three plays at the Stage Yankee before packing in top them 22e Championnat of World in the Play Six in Los Angeles.

Years 1970 finish on a tragic note; August 2nd, 1979, the receiver of the Yankees and the captain of the team Thurman Munson is killed in an air crash. Four days later, the entire team flies away with her funeral with Canton, Ohio, to turn over to play the same day in New York against Orioles of Baltimore. Dace this part which was nationally televised, the emotive contest was underlined by Bobby Murcer which caused production of the five points of the team in a dramatic victory from 5 to 4. The uniform of Munson (15) was withdrawn, and its rack was not used since its death.

The era Mattingly (1982-1995)

According to the loss of the team in world series of 1981, the Yankees entered their longer absence of the series since 1921. From 1989 to 1992, they recorded losing cards, having spent of great quantities of money on the market of the autonomous players and the fishing out did not performé in top of the hopes.

During the Eighties, the Yankees, carried out by their first goal star Gift Mattingly, they had the greatest total of victory among the teams of major, but one not gained only one world series (the first decade since 1910). The Yankees had powerful offensive teams - in addition to Mattingly, its alignments include, at one moment given to the other, Dave Winfield, Rickey Henderson, Mike Pagliarulo, Steve Sax and Jesse Barfield, but their rotation leaving forever equalized the performances the team to the plate. After having posted a card of 22-6 in 1985, the problems of arm caught up with Ron Guidry, and its career entered a decline during the three next years. Rasmussen refusals, which gained 18 parts the following year, forever equalized its service of 1986. Rick Rhoden, asset of the Pirates of Pittsburgh in 1987, gained 16 victories this year there but had a card of 14-14 in 1988.

The Yankees near had just gained the championship of division Is in 1985 and 1986, finishing second behind Blue Jays of Toronto and Red Sox of Boston, respectively, but fell fourth in 1987 and fifth in 1988, although it were in advance in middle of season each time. 1988 will be the last season gaining until 1993.

By the end of the decade, the offensive of the Yankees was also on the decline. Henderson and Pagliarulo had left in the middle of 1989, while problems of back have to catch up with Winfield (missing the season 1989 entirely) and Mattingly (it practically missed second half of 1990). The behavior of Winfield with the team finished when it was exchanged in Angels of California in May 1990. This year there, the Yankees had the worst card of the major League, and their first last place since 1966. The Bombers will finish in bottoms funds of their division until 1993. In 1990, the launcher Andy Hawkins became the first Yankees to lose a match without blow on, when the third goal (Mike Blowers) made an error, followed by two goals on balls and an error by the left acrobat (Jim Leyritz) with the fulfilled goals, resulting three points and the striker. The defeat from 4 to 0 against White Sox was the greatest margin of any defeat of any blow on at the twentieth century. Ironically, the Yankees (and Hawkins) still were implied in a match without blow on in 6 handles in a match shortened by the rain with White Sox eleven days later.

Mattingly had the distinction unhappy to begin its career (1982) and to finish its career (1995) in the years which put between bracket by the world appearances of the Yankees in series (1981-1996).

Joe Torre and the new dynasty (1996-2000)

The poor results in the Eighties and with beginning of the year 90 started to change when the direction could apply a program of acquisition and development cohérant without the intervention of Steinbrenner, which had been suspended operations of team by the police chief Fay Vincent to engage Howard Spira to discover information damaging on the former acrobat of the Yankees Dave Winfield. Under the managing directors Gene Michael and Bob Watson and the manager Buck Showalker, the club changed its accent of the purchase of talent in the process of development by its system of club school. The first significant sign of success arrived in 1994, when the Yankees had the best card of American before the season is curtailed because of a strike of players. One year later, the team reached the decisive matches as a better second and were only eliminated in a memorable series of division from 1995 against the Mariners from Seattle or the Yankees gained to them two first home match and lost to them last three in Seattle.

The jolt increases, Steinbrenner replaced Showalter and its personnel by the manager Joe Torre, who brought with him Don Zimmer on the round of applause and the old launcher high-speed motorboat of the Yankees Mel Stottlemyre as trainer of the launchers. The directorial behavior of Torre is now of much the most beautiful blow of George Steinbrenner. One of the trainers of Showalter, the old second popular goal of the Yankees Willie Randolf, was retained by Torre as instructor with the third goal. Ridiculed at the beginning as a choice of escaped tire (“Clueless Joe” ran the headline of New York Post), the manner of Torre appeared what the team had of need. With a card of 8-0 in three series abroad, the Yankees gained the world Series in 1996, beating the Brave men of Atlanta in 6 parts (after having lost the first two parts in residence by a combined score of 16 - 1), and finishing their dryness of 18 years championship. The native of Bronx, the stop short Derek Jeter was named the recruit of the year, a beginning favorable to his association with the Yankees.

After their first world series gained since 1978, the Yankees signed the left-handed launchers David Wells and Mike Stanton to improve the personnel of launchers. They also allowed the hitchkiker (and MVP series), John Wetteland to become autonomous player, and named the raising device Mariano Rivera like the new hitchkiker.

The managing director Bob Watson was congédié when the Yankees lost in the series of division of the American league against Indians of Cleveland. He was replaced by Brian Cashman, a former trainee of the Yankees. Cashman did many key acquisitions to improve the team, by acquisitions of the third goal Scott Brosius, the second goal and first striker Chuck Knoblauch, the acrobat Darryl Strawberry as well as therefore Orlando “El Duque” Hernandez.

May 17th, 1998, David Wells, who stated later to have the hangover this day there, launched a perfect match against Twins of Minnesota. One year later, on July 18th, 1999, which were “the day of Berra Yogi” at the Stage, David Cone launched a perfect match against Expos of Montreal. In an Amazing coincidence, Don Larsen, which launched a perfect match in world series of 1956, assisted and had launched the protocolar throw to the ceremony of Berra. A coincidence even more amazing is than Larsen and Wells were at the same secondary school, the Point Loma High School in San Diego, California.

The Yankees of 1998 are largely recognized to be one of the largest teams in the historie of baseball, having compiled a file of 114 victories against 48 defeats to on the way sweep Padres de San Diego in Series. The Yankees of 1998 have a card of 11-2 during the series and finished with a file combined of 125-50. Their 125 victories is a record of the league major, although their card in regular season was exceeded in 2001 by the Mariners of Seattle, which have a card of 116-46 before losing in series of championship against the Yankees.

After the season 1998, the favorite of David Wells crowd was exchanged with the Jays Blues of Toronto for Roger Clemens, which had gained two Cy Young consecutive and it triple crown. After having gained in division Is and demolishes Rangers of Texas for the third time in the series of division of the American league in 1999, the Yankees met their rivals of always, Red Sox of Boston, in the following round. Clement, an old launcher of Red Sox, began the third part of the series of championship against Sox which exploded against him 13 to 1 in a duel against Pedro Martinez, the winner of Cy Young and triple crown. However, it was the only part which Red Sox gained, when the Yankees gained the Series of championship of the American league four part with one, and went to sweep the Brave men of Atlanta in the world series of 1999, with Clemens gaining the decisive match number 4 in Bronx. This gave a card of 22-3 in series 1998-1999 (including four sweepings in series) in six consecutive series.

In 2000, the Yankees met with their rivals of New York for the first series of the subway since the world series of 1956. To arrive from there there, they beat Athletics d' Oakland in the series of divisions as well as the Mariners of Seattle in the series of championship. By gaining the first part of the series, the Yankees gained a total of quartoze left consecutive the world series of 1996 to 2000, breaking their own record of twelve (in 1927,1928 and 1932). When the Mets marked a point against Mariano Rivera, they broke its sequence of series of 34.3 consecutive sleeves without granting points. Before the performance of Will rivet, the record had been held by Whitey Ford, which had broken the record of Babe Ruth.

XXIe century (2001 with today)

During emotive times of October 2001, according to the attack on New York on September 11th, the Yankees beat has' S of Oakland three parts with two in the series of divisions, and whereas the Mariners of Seattle, which had gained 116 parts, four part with one in the series of championships. By gaining the championship of the American league for a fourth year of continuation, the Yankees of 1998-2001 joined Giants of New York of 1921-1924 and the teams of the Yankees of 1936 to 1939, of 1949 to 1953, 1955-1958 and 1960 to 1964 like the only dynasties to reach at least four championship consecutive. The Yankees now gained their 11 last series.

However, leaving them Diamondbacks of Arizona in the world series, Randy Johnson and Curt Schilling (which were named the Co-MVP of the world Series) kept them, them putting in failure at the time of the part one, two, quater, six and seven; Diamondbacks gained all to them four part in residence, including the seventh part when the raising device Mariano Rivera lost the advance and the series - at the end of the ninth handle.

After the season 2001, the favorites of Paul O'Neill crowd and Scott Brosius took their retirement. Tino Martinez and Chuck Knoblauch became autonomous players. The Yankees have to rebuild; they needed to rebuild the offense which was limited by the duet Johnson-Schilling in the world series of 2001. They made sign the bruiser Jason Giambi and the acrobat Rondell White, just as they exchanged David Justice with the Mets for the third goal Robin Ventura. The team reported the return of the launcher therefore David Wells to support the personnel of the launchers. The Yankees finished the season 2002 with the best file of the American league of 103-58, gaining the championship of division by 10,5 parts in front of Red Sox. The season was underlined by Alfonso Soriano which became the first second goal to strike 30 circuits and stolen 30 goals in the same season, of m^me that Giambi struck 41 circuits. Roger Clemens was a craftsman of the history by obtaining his 300e victory like launcher and withdrawing his 4000e striker over catches. Only two other launchers in the history of the major leagues had more than 4000 withdrawals to the stick, that is to say Nolan Ryan and Steve Carlton. In the series of division of the American league, the Yankees lost against Angels d' Anaheim in four parts.

In 2003, the Yankees had again the best file of the league (101-61), and beat Twins of Minnesota in the series of divide, and then beat their rival of always, Reds Sox for the championship of the American league in a hard series of seven parts, which gave place to a battle general with the third part and of a circuit of Aaron Boone which put an end to the series at the end of the 11th handle. The Yankees were then beaten by Marlins of Florida, a team with a wage bill with the quarter of that of the Yankees world series, four part against two.

After the season 2003, the Yankees hoped to add some more to one alignment who were eliminated the previous years. They signed two bruisers, signing like free agent Gary Sheffield, and exchanging the player of second goal Alfonso Soriano in Rangers of Texas against the stop short Alex Rodriguez. With Throwing to the position of short stop, Rodriguez, who had always played this position during her career, agree to be to transfer to the third goal. During the season 2004, however, the weakness of the Yankees was their rotation of leaving. In spite of this, they managed to gain more than 100 parts with their powerful alignment, their third season consecutive for carried out in series. In the series of division the Yankees met again and overcame Twins of Minnesota three part to one.

In the series of championship of the American league of 2004 against Red Sox, the Yankees became the first team in the professional history of baseball, and only the third team in the professional sport of North America (it arrived twice in the NHL), to lose a series four of seven after having taken an advance from 3 to 0 in the series. The Yankees thought that it had needed to improve their launcher, which was staggering in their loss vis-a-vis Red Sox, and they signed the launchers free agent Carl Pavano, Jaret Wright and the left-handed person dominating Randy Johnson of Arizona. However, none of the three answered the hopes: Pavano launched only 17 parts in 2005 and missed the whole season 2006 because of a set of wound, Wright was exchanged after having begun only 40 parts into two season and Johnson suffered from problems of backs which had as a result the surgery in October 2006.

The season 2005 started slowly for the Yankees, and they spent the majority of the season to drive out Red Sox of Boston for the title of division. The Yankees, however, gained division, by concluding the season against Red Sox. Alex Rodriguez deserved the title of the most useful player in the American league, becoming the first Yankee gained this starts again since Don Mattingly in 1985. Giambi received the honor of the return of the year, voted by the fans, and the second goal Robinson Cano was finalist for the title of recruit of the year. Another fact of the season is the card of the launcher Aaron Small, which became the fourth launcher of the historie to gain at least ten parts without having defeats.

In the series of divisions of the American league 2005, Angeles beat the Yankees in five parts in the first round of the series, it is the second time in four years which the Angles beat the Yankees in first round. Alex Rodriguez, the MVP of the American league in 2005, knew bad series, striking for .133 with any produced circuits and any points.

In between season 2005-2006, the managing director Brian Cashman saw himself given more control of the direction of the Yankees, and in December 2005, the Yankees signed the acrobat of center Johnny Damon of large the rivals of Red Sox. The Yankees also signed Kyle Farnsworth, Mike Myers, Octavio Dotel and Ron VIllone to improve their changing, which had been a weak point during the season 2005.

In spite of the loss of the players of field Hideki Matsui and Gary Sheffield wounded at the beginning of the season, the Yankees finished first half of the season 2006 with 50 victories and 36 defeats, three parts behind Red Sox. But they caught up with Red Sox, and on August 18th, the Yankees entered in Fenway Park with an advance of 1,5 part in advance for a series of five parts. The series started with a double program that the Yankees swept 12-4 and 14-11, reviving the massacre of Boston of 1978 and incentive daN Shaughnessy of Boston Globe to off give the name of the double program of “Sound Massacre” the Yankees went to sweep the five parts (calling the series the “Second Massacre of Boston”). They dominated Reds Sox by a combined score of 49-26 and left Boston with an advance of 6,5 parts. Red Sox will finish finally the season with the third rank in the east behind the Yankees and Blue Jays of Toronto, doing it for the first time since 1998 or Red Sox did not finish second behind Yanks.

The championship of division was the ninth consecutive one for the Yankees. When Mets gained their division (beating the Brave men of Atlanta which had gained it the 11 last seasons), it was the first time that the two teams of New York gained their respective divisions the same year. Their card of 97-65 equalized those of the Mets, giving the hopes to New Yorkais of another series of the subway. However, the Yankees lost with the hands of Tigers de Détroit in four parts in the series of division of the American league, whereas the Mets lost their series of championship of the national league against the Cardinals of St Louis in seven parts.

October 11th, 2006, the days after elimination, the tragedy struck when the launcher Cory Lidle died in an air crash. It was however given if Lidle or its copilot, Tyler Stranger, which was also killed, flew the plane which was crushed in a building built on 72 rue on Manhattan with Upper East Side. Lidle was the second active Yankee with being killed in an air crash, according to the death of Thurman Munson in 1979.

Changes during between season the 2006-07 included exchange of Gary Sheffield and Jaret Wright and signateurs of the Japanese launcher Kei Igawa and the former Yankee Andy Pettitte, who left the Yankees in 2003. At the beginning of January, the team exchanged Randy Johnson in Diamondbacks for the raising device Luis Vizcaino and three players of the minors. The player of field Bernie Williams, is since 2006 is at present an autonomous player.

The new Stadium Yankee

In 2006, the Yankees started to break the ground for a new stage of ultramodern baseball, which will also have like name the Stadium Yankee. It is planned to open in 2009. Current the Stadium Yankee will be used until the new stage is set up, and of the parts of him will be preserved after the Yankees are transferred at the new stage. Major Baseball allotted the match of stars 2008 to the Yankees in the honor of the last year of the present stage.

Distinctions

The Yankees gained 26 world series in 39 appearances (which, since the first world series of 1903, currently returns to an average appearance at each 2,7 seasons and a victory at each 4 seasons); Cardinals of Saint-Louis are second with ten victories in world Series. Dodgers of Brooklyn/Los Angeles are second in appearances with eighteen; eleven of these eighteen world appearances in series were against the Yankees, or Dodgers have a card of 3-8 against them. Among the major sports, in North America, the success of the Yankees is only approached by the 24 championships of the Stanley Cut by the Canadians of Montreal of the National league of hockey. The Yankees are also the only team which is represented with each position with the Temple of re-elected baseball.

Uniforms and vestimentary code

Appearance

The colors of the team are the navy blue and the white. Under the reign of George Steinbrenner, the long hair and the hairs of the face to the lower part of the lip are prohibited. Visible tattooings are also prohibited, and the players who have some on their arm are often seen wearing a sleeve navy blue.

Design

The uniform in residence of the Yankees white with very fine stripes distinctive and one of the letters inter is connected navy blue “NY” to the chest. The uniform abroad is gray with the word New York written in Capital letter through the chest. The number of the player is registered on the back of the uniform and is not accompanied by the name of the player.

In 1929, the Yankees of New York became the first team to make number a permanent part of the uniform. The numbers were distributed and base on the order of the strikers. In 1929, Earle Combs carries # 1, Mark Kownig # 2, Babe Ruth # 3, Lou Gehrig # 4, Bob Meusel # 5, Tony Lazzeri # 6, Leo DUrocher # 7, Johnny Gravowski # 8 and Benny Bengough # 9 and Bill Dickey # 40. While the other teams started to put the name on the pullovers in the Sixties, the Yankees did not follow the tendency. Much company creating the pullovers with the names Yankees bent on the back for the fans who want to buy, but no official uniform of the Yankees forever have name on the back. They are also one of only team in Baseball Major to reject the tendency by creating a “third pullover”. The team forever distributed # 0 or the #00.

Although the Yankees changed the same uniform abroad since 1918 (except for 1927 to 1930, when the word New York was replaced by the word YANKEES”, a radical change was proposed in 1974. Marty Call, in its book New Pitching for the Yankees describes the uniforms proposed:

“In 1974, I walked towards the office of (the managing director), Gabe Paul to find samples of the new uniform on the road of the Yankees through the couch. They were the opposite of the very fine stripes of the residence - they were navy blue with white very fine stripes. The logo of NY was white. Gabe liked them. I failed to disappear. Although the uniforms abroad gray insipid did not excite, with the simple New York with the chest, they were very representative of the Yankees like the uniform of residence. I think that my dramatic scorn saved (sic) the day and saved the Yankees to carry these terrible pyjamas at once.

The Yankees carry a blue cap marinades with a white logo of “NY” with their uniform in displacement and in residence.

Popularity

The Yankees enjoy a great popularity through Manhattan, New York, the United States, and the whole world. One finds their derivative products through all planet. However, America is divided into two at the time of the match against the rival eternal: Red Sox of Boston. Several days before the match, the pressure between the two clans is accentuated. One cannot like Red Sox, and the Yankees at the same time…

With repetitive successes of the frankness since 1920 and its renovated dynasty, the Yankees always were and always continue to be one of the teams of sport preferred in the world. They have a great base of fans perceptibly, larger than the town of New York crossing the city of the Mets of New York. Even on the parts outside like Baltimore, Boston, Toronto and Tampa Bay, the Yankees generally attract their own fans, showing that they have not only the support of the sector of the town of New York, but also elsewhere in the United States and Canada.

The first season of a million spectators took place in 1920, when 1.289.422 partisans attend the parts of the Yankees to the Sports shirt Ground. The first season of two million spectators took place in 1946 when 2.265.512 partisans attended the parts with the Stadium Yankee. The Yankees beat the average of the league in residence in 83 the 87 last years (Only in 1990,1991,1992 and 1994 or it do not have achieves this). In the seven last years, in the paddle of their new dynasty, the Yankees reached not far from three million at each year, with 4.090.696, a record of the American league in 2005, becoming only the third frankness in the history from the sport to exceed four million spectators in regular season in their own stage of baseball.

The Yankees were also the leaders of the league for “the assistances abroad” of 2001 to 2006.

Many admirors who attend the parts with the Stadium Yankees are familiar with the fans, of which Fred Schuman, simply known like “Freddy”. During 50 years this spectator came to the parts of the Yankees with a cap of baseball, a pullover of Yankees (which bears its name in the back) and a pan of cake with a clover paints above which is connected to a sign registered with the words of encouragement for the team. The sign changes in each part (But presents always the prefix “Freddy Sez”) and Freddy carries a metal spoon with him encouraging the partisans to strike the pan for the good luck when it crosses crowd to each part
