UPDATED FOR THE 2024 MLB SEASON!
Yankees Team History
The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team in the United States. And the Yankees compete in the East Division of the American League (AL) of Major League Baseball (MLB).
The Yankees were established in 1901. But they were not founded in New York City. In fact, they based themselves in Baltimore, Maryland. And they originally called themselves the Baltimore Orioles.
To clarify, they had no relationship to the present-day Baltimore Orioles
Then in 1903, the team moved to the Big Apple. And it renamed itself the New York Highlanders. Officially, they changed their name to the New York Yankees a decade later in 1913.
Most Successful Franchise in History?
The Yankees have won 19 American East Division titles. And they have won 40 AL pennants. Most importantly, the Yanks have won the World Series 27 times.
Are the New York Yankees the most successful franchise in the history of major league sports?
In fact, the Pinstripers have won more titles than any other team in the four major sports leagues.
Yankee Stadium – Home of the Yankees
The New York Yankees play home games at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. And for this reason, many people call them the Bronx Bombers. In the same vein, they call Yankee Stadium the Bronx Zoo.
The Yankees are one of two MLB teams in New York City. The New York Mets play home games at Citi Field in the Flushing section of Queens.
New York City also has two National Basketball Association (NBA) teams, two National Football League (NFL) teams, and two National Hockey League (NHL) teams

Word to the Wise
While most of these venues tend to attract New York Yankees fans on game day, there are no guarantees.
First of all, not all baseball games are broadcast. And even when they are, sometimes they won’t turn on the sound. Otherwise, they might show other events. And there is always the chance the venue might be booked for special activities.
Also, fans sometimes migrate to other venues. And bars sometimes close.
Therefore, you should always call ahead to make sure that the game you want to watch will be broadcast.

I go to NYC a lot but haven’t been to any of these. Admittedly, I’m not usually there for sports and am more of an NL fan but they are iconic and I haven’t toured the current stadium yet!
When I was still living in Northern California, I was a big Athletics fan, and I loved going to games against the Yankees. There were so many New York transplants living in California that they usually drew crowds of more than 40,000, with half the fans rooting for Oakland and half the fans rooting for New York. The atmosphere was electric.
I’ve been to Fenway to see Red Sox games, but haven’t done the same for the Yankees. Traveling to NYC to see a Yankees game in person sounds like such an iconic experience, would be fun!
I’ve never been to Fenway Park, but if I ever make it to Boston, that will be at the top of my “must do” list!
It’s always fun to go to a local bar and get caught up in the excitement of the locals rooting for their home team….thanks to your detailed post, I’ll be able to root for the Yankees the next time I’m in NYC!
I agree! I love the sense of camaraderie at a good sports bar!
This is the perfect roundup for all those die-hard Yankees Fans! I’d love to check out the bar at Yankee Stadium during a game one day — it would be so much fun.
Me, too! I’ve always wanted to go to a game at Yankee Stadium!
I must admit, I haven’t watched any sports event in a bar. I’m sure it is a fun experience, I just need to find a good company to drink beer with 😉 And any sport but chess, I guess, will do
It can be great fun, assuming you’re all rooting for the same team – and you’re winning!!!
I’ve been to a Yankees bar in NYC and loved the vibe so much…New Yorkers are fanatics about the Yankees lol…
They really are! I used to go to A’s games in Oakland, and I loved it when they played the Yankees! There were so many New York transplants in California that the stadium would be half rooting for Oakland and half rooting for NYC. It was a great atmosphere.
