The New York Yankees are the most successful franchise in the history of professional sports. In 1921 the franchise raised its first of 39 (and counting) American League pennants in the Polo Grounds. A year later the team hung another. In 1923 the team moved the pennants to the newly built Yankee Stadium, where it has played ever since. In 2009 the team will play in New Yankee Stadium. The final regular season game at Yankee Stadium was played on September 21, 2008. The move to the new stadium will ensure a strong demand for New York Yankee home tickets throughout the 2009 season.
In addition to the club’s 39 League championships, it has won an incredible 26 World Series Championships. The most recent string of World Series dominance was 1996-2000, when the New York Yankees won 4 World Series in 5 years. The club continues to be a dominant force in the American League, winning the American League pennant in 2001 and 2003.
Since 2004 the Yankees have labored in the shadow of their eternal rivals, the Boston Red Sox. In 2004 the Sox defeated the Yankees in the American League Championship Series and went on to win the World Series for the first time since 1918, ending a drought that started the season after the Red Sox dealt a chubby pitcher named Babe Ruth to the New York team.
During the 2007 American League Divisional Series against the Cleveland Indians, Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said that if the team lost the ALDS for a third straight year manager Joe Torre would likely be fired. The Yankees did lose and Steinbrenner offered Torre a pay cut to $5 million with a million dollar bonus for every round of the playoffs the team won. Torre rejected the offer and Steinbrenner signed former catcher Joe Girardi as manager to a three-year deal worth $7.5 million. The Yankees finished the 2008 regular season with an 89-73 record, behind the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox, and out of the playoffs.
The New York Yankees are in the 5-team East Division of the 14-team American League of the 30-team Major League Baseball.
