The New York Yankees franchise was founded in 1901 as one of the eight charter teams of the American League, though they were located in Baltimore, Maryland, and nicknamed the Orioles at the time. The franchise found a new home in New York City after just two seasons in Baltimore, but it wasn’t until 1913 that they adopted the Yankees as their official name. After sharing a stadium with the New York Giants from 1913-1922, the Yankees moved into Yankee Stadium in 1923 and became a virtually unstoppable force in the league. They won their first American League Pennant in 1921 and their first World Series in 1923, and they haven’t slowed down since. An Unparalleled Past No team in the MLB or even the history of North American professional sports comes close to meeting the undeniable achievements accomplished by the New York Yankees. Since 1913, they’ve made 50 playoff appearances, won 40 pennants, and amassed an unthinkable 27 championship trophies—all of which are MLB records. The list of iconic names seems to never end when talking about great players who  have suited up in Yankee pinstripes: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Roger Maris, and Reggie Jackson, just to name a few who have had their numbers retired by the proud franchise.
