Introduction
The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the Bronx, New York City. They compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division. They are one of two major league clubs based in New York City, the other being the National League’s (NL) New York Mets. The Yankees began play in the 1901 season as the Baltimore Orioles (no relation to the modern Baltimore Orioles team), under new ownership that bought the bankrupt team in 1903. In 1913, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the franchise after it folded and moved it to New York City, renaming it the New York Highlanders. The Highlanders were officially renamed as the “Yankees” in 1913. The team is owned by Yankee Global Enterprises, an LLC controlled by the family of George Steinbrenner, who purchased self-control of then-jobbing crew for $12 million dollars back in 1973. The team has had some success lately, winning their 27th World Series championship 2019, led by executive general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone
