- The
New York
Yankees
are without dispute the
most successful franchise in baseball history. They
have won a record 22 World Series and 33 AL pennants
and totally dominated the sport in the 1940s and,
especially, the 1950s. They have won more games than
any franchise, even though they are in the younger
American League.

The
deal that made the
Yankees into a powerhouse came in
January 1920, when they bought Babe Ruth from the
Red Sox as Boston owner Harry Frazee sold off his
stars to finance his Broadway shows. Ruth changed
baseball history by hitting 54 HR in 1920, breaking
the record of 29 that he had set the previous season.
Besides "The Babe," the Yankees have spawned many
other Hall of Famers....Yogi Berra,
Mickey Mantle, Joe DiMaggio,
Whitey Ford, Reggie Jackson, among others.

Today, the
New York Yankees
are owned by shipping magnate, George Steinbrenner. Mr Steinbrenner is definitely an active participant
in the operation and he spares no money when it
comes to signing high-profile players and free
agents. In
the Yankees’
quest for a 2006
championship and series, the club has already signed
pitcher Jared Wright, second baseman Tony Womack,
and are seriously courting the “Big Unit” and Cy
Young award winner, Randy Johnson. Don’t miss a
chance to visit historic
Yankee Stadium
this
season. Reserve your
