About History of the New York Yankees in brief
The New York Yankees are a Major League Baseball team. The team was founded as the Baltimore Orioles in the 1901 season. The Orioles moved to New York City after the 1902 season. In 1913, the team became known as the Yankees. The Yankees won the World Series every year from 1936 to 1939. They won five consecutive championships from 1949 to 1953, and nine times from 1955 to 1964. After the 1964 season, a lack of effective replacements for aging players caused the franchise to decline on the field. George Steinbrenner bought the club in 1973 and regularly invested in new talent, using free agency to acquire top players. In the early 1990s the team began to improve as their roster was rebuilt around young players from their minor league system, including Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera. In 2009, the Yankees opened a new Yankee Stadium and won theWorld Series for the 27th time in team history, an MLB record. New York regularly reached the postseason, but were often defeated in the first two rounds. As the 2000s progressed the Yankees’ rivalry with the Boston Red Sox increased in intensity as the sides met multiple times in the American League Championship Series, trading victories in 2003 and 2004. The Yankees appeared in the ALCS four times during the 2010s, but lost on each occasion. The last time the Yankees won a World Series was in 2000, when they beat the Red Sox 3-2 in the final game of the Series at Fenway Park in New York.
The current Yankees owner, Aaron Boone, bought the team for $1.5 billion in 2007. The club has won the American Baseball League championship four times, most recently in 2010. The most recent title came in 2012, when the Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 in the AL Championship Series at the New York Mets’ Yankee Stadium. The Yankee Stadium was renovated and reopened in 1976 as the home of a more competitive Yankees team. It is the only stadium in MLB to be named after a major league team, and the only one in MLB history to have been named for a single player. The stadium was named after former Yankees player Joe DiMaggio, who played for the team in the 1940s and ’50s. It was also named for former Yankees pitcher Joe McCarthy, who died in a car accident in 1998. The Bronx Bombers are the only MLB team to have won more than one World Series title in its history, winning three in a row from 1928 to 1932. The first Yankees World Series win came in 1927 under manager Miller Huggins. The next title came under manager Joe McCarthy in 1932, and they repeated as World Series winners in 1928 and 1932. In 1934, the club won its first World Series championship with a team that featured Lou Gehrig and Mickey Mantle. In 1936, they won their first AL title in 1921, followed by their first World series championship in 1923. In 1937, they became the first team to win three straight World Series titles.
