The New York Yankees are an American professional baseball team based in the New York City borough of the Bronx. The Yankees compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League (AL) East division.
The other New York City-based major league team is the NL’s New York Mets, who play in the National League (NL). In 1901, the Yankees were known as the Baltimore Orioles (no relation to the modern Baltimore Orioles).
In 1903, Frank Farrell and Bill Devery bought the franchise and moved it to New York City, dubbing the team the New York Highlanders after their new home city of New York.
As of 1913, the Highlanders were formally dubbed the New York Yankees after their new city of residence.
