The New York Yankees are my favorite Major League Baseball Team. They are based in the Bronkx section of New York City. I am going to give you just some general information about them.
The club was first in Baltimore, MD. They moved to New York City in 1903 and was known as the New York Highlanders. In 1913 they officially changed their name to the New York Yankees.
They Yankees have won 18 Division Titles, 40 Americal League Pennants, and 27 World Series Championships.
In 2013, acording to Forbes Magazine, they are the highest valued sports franchise in the United States. They are 4th in the world. They have an estimated value at about 2.3 Billion Dollars.
The official fight song for the Yankees is Here Comes the Yankees.
