The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of the Bronx,
in New York City, New York and are a member of Major League Baseball's American League East
Division. One of the American League's eight charter franchises, the club was founded in
Baltimore, Maryland in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, and moved to New York City in 1903,
becoming known as the New York Highlanders before being officially renamed the "Yankees"
in 1913. From 1923 to 2008, the Yankees' home ballpark was Yankee Stadium, one of the world's
most famous sports venues. In 2009, they moved into a new stadium, also called "Yankee Stadium".

The franchise is the defending World Champion of Major League Baseball and lead the League
in both revenue and titles, with 27 World Series championships and 40 American League Pennants.
They have more championships than any other franchise in North American professional sports
history, passing the 24 Stanley Cup championships by the Montreal Canadiens in 1999. Throughout
the team's history, the franchise has produced some of the most celebrated players in Major
League history, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, and Yogi Berra.
The franchise has seen 44 of its players inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and the
Yankees have retired the numbers of 16 of its players.

The Yankees have achieved widespread popularity and a dedicated fanbase, although they have
acquired a polarizing reputation for their heavy spending in pursuit of winning. Their rivalry
with the Boston Red Sox is arguably the fiercest and most historic in North American professional
sports. To support the Yankees and expand their media coverage, the dedicated television channel
YES Network was launched in 2002, and it has become a large source of revenue for the franchise.
