WELCOME
"Welcome to the 80th season of Yankee baseball.
New York joined the American League in 1903 as the 'Highlanders.' Around 1913 the nickname 'Yankees' was adopted and a couple of years later pinstripes appeared on their uniforms. Their first American League pennant was won in 1921 and they claimed their first World Championship in 1923. Yankee Pride and Tradition was on its way.
The New York Yankees are clearly the most dominant team in the history of professional sports, having won 22 World Championships and 33 American League pennants in 79 years.
The Yankees wear the most famous uniform in sports, the Yankee pinstripes. Pinstripes first appeared on their uniforms in 1915 and have been worn by scores of outstanding players since, 25 of whom are enshrined in Baseball's Hall of Fame.
The Yankees were the first team to retire a uniform number (Lou Gehrig's #4 in 1939) and have since retired seven more in tribute to their greatest legends. They are the only team whose greatest heroes- stars, managers and executives- have monuments and plaques in their honor.
The top Yankee leaders have given special meaning to the tile of team 'Captain,' with Graig Nettles today following in the tradition of a Gehrig and a Munson.
In addition, the Yankees play in the most famous sporting arena in the United States- Yankee Stadium, the House that Ruth Built. Yankee Stadium first opened in 1923, and the Yankees went on to win their first World Championship that year. This magnificent park, reconstructed between October 1973 and April 1976, boasts the greatest features in comfort and enjoyment for fans, while retaining its historic character.
Since the reopening of Yankee Stadium in 1976, the Yankees have strengthened their tradition, winning two World Championships, four American League pennants and five AL East Division titles during the past six seasons.
In 1903 Lefty Davis was the first player to represent New York in the American League, with the legendary Babe Ruth-Lou Gehrig-Joe DiMaggio-Mickey Mantle link forming a tradition of greatness. Some 950 players later, the 1982 Yankees proudly wear the same uniforms, play in the same ballpark in the same great city and carry on the same traditions established when the won their firs World Championship.
We take pride in welcoming you to the 80th season of Yankee baseball ... be a part of it ... there is none better."
