The Yankees have won 26 [[World Series]] in 39 appearances; the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] and the [[Oakland Athletics]] are tied for second with 9 World Series victories each, and the [[San Francisco Giants]] are second with 15 World Series appearances. Among the North American major sports, their success is only approached by the 24 [[Stanley Cup]] championships of the [[Montreal Canadiens]] of the [[National Hockey League]]. It is the only team that is represented at every position in the [[Baseball Hall of Fame]].

At the end of the [[1900]] season, the [[American League]] re-organized and, with its president [[Ban Johnson]] as the driving force, decided to assert itself as a new major league. Previously a minor league (known as the Western League until 1899), the American League carried over five of its previous locations and added three more on the East Coast, including one in [[Baltimore, Maryland]], which had lost its [[National League]] team when that league contracted the year before. The intention of Johnson and the American League had been to place a team in [[New York, New York|New York City]], but their efforts had been stymied by the political connections that owners of the National League [[New York Giants (baseball)|New York Giants]] had with [[Tammany Hall]].

When the team began play as the ''Baltimore Orioles'' in [[1901]], they were managed by [[John McGraw (baseball)|John McGraw]]. As a result of a feud with league president [[Ban Johnson]], who rigidly enforced rules about rowdyism on the field of play, McGraw jumped leagues to manage the [[San Francisco Giants|New York Giants]] in the middle of the [[1902]] season. A week later the owner of the Giants also gained controlling interest of the Orioles and raided the team for players, after which the league declared the team forfeit and took control, still intending to move the franchise to New York when and if possible.

In January [[1903]], the American League and National League held a "peace conference" to settle conflicts over player contract disputes and to agree on future cooperation. The National League also agreed that the "junior circuit" could establish a franchise in New York. The American League's Baltimore franchise became the New York franchise when its new owners, [[Frank Farrell]] and [[William Devery]], were able to find a ballpark ___location not blocked by the Giants. Ferrell and Devery both had deep ties into city politics and gambling. Farrell owned a casino and several pool halls, while Devery had served as a blatantly corrupt chief of the New York City police and had only been forced out of the department at the start of [[1902]].

The franchise's first park in New York was located at 165th St. and [[Broadway]] in [[Manhattan]], near the highest point on the island. Consequently the field was known as [[Hilltop Park]] and the team became known as the ''New York Highlanders''. As the Highlanders the team enjoyed success only twice, finishing in second place in the American League in [[1904]] and [[1910]], but otherwise much of the next fifteen years was spent in the cellar.

#mytabs li a {
From [[1913]] to [[1922]] the team would play in the [[Polo Grounds]], a park owned by their National League rivals, the Giants. With the change of parks in 1913, the team also officially changed its name to ''New York Yankees'', a name which had been in informal but increasing use for the prior few years.

.ns-0 * #mytabs li a {
By the mid 1910s, owners Farrell and Devery had become estranged and both were in need of money. At the start of [[1915]], they sold the team to Colonel [[Jacob Ruppert]] and Captain [[Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston]]. Ruppert was heir to the Ruppert brewery fortune and had also been tied to the Tammany Hall machine, serving as a [[Congress of the United States|U.S. Congressman]] for eight years. Ruppert later said, "For $450,000 we got an orphan ball club, without a home of its own, without players of outstanding ability, without prestige."

Over the next few years the new owners would begin to enlarge the payroll. Many of the newly acquired players who would later contribute to their success came from the [[Boston Red Sox]], whose owner, [[theater]] impresario [[Harry Frazee]], had bought his team on credit and was hard-pressed to pay off his loans and also produce [[Broadway]] shows. From [[1919]] to [[1922]], the Yankees acquired from the Red Sox the pitchers [[Waite Hoyt]], [[Carl Mays]] and [[Herb Pennock]]; catcher [[Wally Schang]]; shortstop [[Everett Scott]]; and third baseman [[Joe Dugan]]. However, pitcher-turned-outfielder [[Babe Ruth]] was the biggest of them all. Frazee traded Ruth in January of [[1920]], citing Ruth's demand for a raise after being paid the highest salary in baseball, and slumping bat as reasons for the trade. Two of the four Boston newspapers agreed at the time. The Red Sox did not win a [[World Series]] from 1919 until 2004 (see [[Curse of the Bambino]]), often finding themselves out of the World Series hunt as a result of the success of the Yankees. The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry was rekindled in the seventies as the Red Sox rose from ineptitude to conflict with the Yankees fall after fall, since then the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has become one of the fiercest in baseball, if not all of American sports.

Other critical newcomers in this period were manager [[Miller Huggins]] and general manager [[Ed Barrow]]. Huggins was hired in [[1919]] by Ruppert while Huston was serving in Europe with the army (this would lead to a break between the two owners, with Ruppert eventually buying Huston out in 1923). Barrow came on board after the [[1920]] season, and like many of the new Yankee players had previously been a part of the Red Sox organization, having managed the team since [[1918]]. Barrow would act as general manager or president of the Yankees for the next 25 years and may deserve the bulk of the credit for the team's success during that period. He was especially noted for development of the Yankees' farm system.

The home run hitting exploits of Ruth proved popular with the public, to the extent that the Yankees were soon outdrawing their landlords, the Giants. In [[1921]] the Yankees were told to move out of the Polo Grounds after the [[1922]] season. In [[1923]] the Yankees moved into [[Yankee Stadium]] at 161st St. and River Avenue in [[The Bronx|the Bronx]]. The site for the stadium was chosen because the [[IRT]] Jerome Avenue subway line, now the [[MTA]]'s #4 train, went right there and goes on top of Yankee Stadium's right-field wall. The Stadium was the first triple-deck venue in baseball and seated an astounding 58,000. It was truly "[[the House that Ruth Built]]",

From [[1921]] to [[1928]], the Yankees went through their first period of great success, winning six American League pennants and three World Series. In [[1921]] through [[1923]] they faced the Giants in the World Series, losing the first two match-ups but turning the tables in [[1923]].

The [[1927]] team was so potent that it became known as "[[Murderers' Row]]" and is sometimes considered to have been the best team in the history of baseball (though similar claims have been made for other Yankee squads, notably those of [[1939]] and [[1998]]). Ruth's home run total of 60 in [[1927]] set a single-season record which would stand for 34 years, and first baseman [[Lou Gehrig]] had his first big season with 47 round-trippers.

The [[1950s]], under [[Casey Stengel]]: bettering the McCarthy-era clubs, Stengel's squad won the World Series in his first five years as manager, [[1949]] through [[1953]]. In twelve years, Stengel won 10 pennants and seven World Series titles. They were led by catcher [[Yogert Berra]], outfielder [[Mickey Mantle]] and pitcher [[Whitey Ford]], but unlike the star-studded McCarthy teams, the Yankees of the 1950s owed much of their success to Stengel's use of platooning and his ability to get the most out of average and slightly-above-average personnel.

After the [[1964]] season, [[CBS]] purchased the Yankees from [[Dan Topping]] and [[Del Webb]] for $11.2 million. Topping and Webb had owned the Yankees for 20 years, missing the World Series only 5 times, and going 10-5 in the World Series. By contrast, the CBS-owned teams never went to the World Series, and in the first year of the new ownership - [[1965]] - the Yankees finished in the [[second division (baseball)|second division]] for the first time in 40 years; then in [[1966]] the team finished last in the American League for the first time since [[1912]], and next-to-last the following year. After that the team's fortunes improved somewhat, but they would not become serious contenders again until the second half of the [[1970s]].

The [[1970s]], under [[Billy Martin]], et al: [[George Steinbrenner]] purchased the club for $10 million on [[January 3]], [[1973]] from the [[Columbia Broadcasting System]] (CBS), renovated Yankee Stadium, hired and fired Billy Martin a number of times, feuded with star outfielder [[Reggie Jackson]], and presided over the resurgence of the Yankees in the late seventies. Jackson's three home runs in the sixth and final game of the 1977 World Series against three different [[Los Angeles Dodgers|Dodger]] [[pitcher]]s (earning him the nickname "Mr. October") defined the period as much as Martin and Steinbrenner.

The race for the pennant often came to a close competition between the Yankees and the Red Sox, and for fans of both clubs, a game between the two teams (whether in the regular season or post-season championship games) was cause for a rivalry that was often bitter and ruthless, with brawls frequently erupting between both players and fans from the two clubs. The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry came to a head in the 1978 season, when the two clubs finished the regular season in a tie for the American League East first place position. A sudden-death playoff game between the two teams was held to decide who would go on to the pennant, with the game being held at Boston's [[Fenway Park]] (because the Red Sox had won more head-to-head games between the two teams that season). The Yankees won the day, driving a stake through the hearts of their rivals' fans when [[Bucky Dent]] drove a game-winning home run over the "[[Green Monster]]," one of several emotional moments in the team's history that had Red Sox fans wondering if their team was under some kind of a curse.

The Yankees entered the 1990s as a last-place team, having spent well but not always wisely on free-agent players since their last appearance in the World Series in [[1981]]. In the 1980's the Yankees had the most combined amount of wins out of any Major League team but failed to win a World Series (the first such decade since the 1910's). In [[1990]], Yankee pitcher [[Andy Hawkins]] became the first Yankees pitcher ever to lose a no-hitter, when he walked 3 men and the center fielder committed an error with bases loaded, scoring the 3 men on base plus the player who hit the ball to the center fielder. The 4-0 loss was the biggest margin of any no-hitter loss in the 20th century.

The bad judgment and bad luck of the [[1980s|'80s]] and early [[1990s|'90s]] started to change when, while owner [[George Steinbrenner]] was under suspension, management was able to implement a coherent program without interference from above. Under general manager [[Gene Michael]] (later [[Bob Watson]]) and manager [[Buck Showalter]], the club shifted its emphasis from buying talent to developing talent through its farm system and then holding onto it. The first significant sign of success came in [[1994_in_sports|1994]], when the Yankees had the best record in the American League when the season was cut short by the players' strike. A year later, the team gained the playoffs as the wild card and was eliminated only after a memorable series against the [[Seattle Mariners]].

Showalter left after the [[1995]] season due to personality clashes with owner George Steinbrenner and his staff and was replaced by [[Joe Torre]]. Initially derided as a retread choice ("Clueless Joe" ran the headline on one of the city's tabloid newspapers), Torre's smooth manner proved out as he led the Yankees to a World Series victory in [[1996]], defeating the Atlanta Braves in six games. General manager Bob Watson was dismissed when the Yankees failed to repeat in [[1997]] and was replaced by [[Brian Cashman]]. Torre and Cashman have, however, essentially won with the foundation laid by Michael, Watson, and Showalter before them, particularly the development of players like [[Derek Jeter]], [[Andy Pettitte]], [[Jorge Posada]], [[Mariano Rivera]] and [[Bernie Williams (born 1968)|Bernie Williams]]. Prominent members of the late 1990s championships teams acquired through trades included [[Paul O'Neill (baseball player)|Paul O'Neill]], [[David Cone]], [[Tino Martinez]], [[John Wetteland]], [[Chuck Knoblauch]], and [[Roger Clemens]], while [[Jimmy Key]], [[Wade Boggs]], [[David Wells]], [[Mike Stanton]], and [[Orlando Hernández|Orlando "El Duque" Hernández]] were signed as free agents.

The 1998-2000 Yankees were the first team to "three-peat" with World Series victories since the [[Oakland Athletics]] of the early 1970s. In [[1998]] and [[1999]], they swept the [[San Diego Padres]] and [[Atlanta Braves]], respectively. In [[2000]], the Yankees met up with cross-town [[New York Mets]] for the first [[Subway Series]] since [[1956]] and won four games to one. In these four World Series victories, the Yankees won fourteen straight games. The Yankees are the last Major League Baseball team to date to have repeat World Series titles.

In the emotional October [[2001]], following the [[September 11, 2001 attacks|September 11]] attack on New York City's [[World Trade Center]], the Yankees defeated the [[Oakland Athletics]] 3 games to 2 in the Divisional Series, and then the [[Seattle Mariners]] in the [[American League Championship Series]], 4 games to 1. But, the usually-unhittable [[Mariano Rivera]] shockingly blew the lead - and [[World Series]] - to the [[Arizona Diamondbacks]] in the bottom of the 9th inning of Game 7.

The loss in the [[2001]] World Series effectively marked the end of the 1990s Yankee dynasty, as lynchpin players began to retire, not be re-signed, or traded. The Yankees' quick ejection from the [[2002]] playoffs at the hands of the [[Anaheim Angels]] (now called the [[Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim]]) accelerated the changes, as ownership and management began to look increasingly on free agent acquisitions and major trades. The trend continued after the [[2003]] World Series, culminating when the Yankees traded for the nominal "best player in baseball", [[Alex Rodriguez]], in February [[2004]]. Other significant acquisitions during [[2002]] to [[2004]] included [[Jason Giambi]], [[Hideki Matsui]], [[Gary Sheffield]], [[Kevin Brown]], and [[Javier Vazquez]].

In the [[2004 American League Championship Series]] against the Red Sox, the Yankees became the first team in professional baseball history, and only the third team in North American pro sports history, to lose a best of 7 series after taking a 3-0 series lead.

Many explanations have been given for the lack of Yankee World Series titles since [[2000]]. These include depletion of the Yankee farm system because of trades and free agent acquisitions, the aging or departure of the players who had formed the core of the Yankees during the late 1990s, and allegedly poor coaching. [[Buster Olney]], in his book ''The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty'', argues that [[George Steinbrenner]]'s management style resulted in the players burning out psychologically. Several [[sabermetrics|sabermetricians]] have argued that success in the playoffs is mostly the result of luck. This argument is bolstered by the fact that the production of the Yankees' core players has decreased steadily since their 1996 World Series title.

One particularly creative explanation jokingly proposed by sportswriter [[Larry Mahnken]] is the "Curse of [[Clay Bellinger]]". By analogy with the [[Curse of the Bambino]], Mahnken points to the departure of [[utility player]] Clay Bellinger from the Yankee roster following the [[2001]] [[season]] and asserts that the Yankees will never again win the World Series until either they make amends to Bellinger or they win the championship anyway. The [[tautology]] is part of the [[joke]].

The Yankees are a notable team not only for their impressive history on the field, but also for their financial situation. The current ownership spends more on player salaries than any other franchise in baseball. As of 2004, the team payroll is more than $182 million, which is $51 million more than the second-highest team, the [[Red Sox]], and more than the six lowest-payroll teams combined. Because of their perceived willingness to do anything and spend any amount for a championship, the Yankees are sometimes referred to as the "[[Mafia]]" (they have also been occasionally referred to as an "[[Evil empire (disambiguation)|Evil Empire]]").

It is a heated debate whether this phenomenon is positive or negative for baseball, and whether a strict [[salary cap]] would make the sport fairer and increase [[parity]] among the large-market and small-market teams. The following are arguments for and against these spending practices:

* The Yankees are "America's Team." They give the casual, or "bandwagon," baseball fan someone to root for when he/she does not have a local favorite.

* As "America's Team" the Yankees give other baseball fans a team to "hate" or root against, thereby further generating interest in baseball games involving the Yankees and baseball in general. Sports are always a more compelling diversion when there are underdogs and teams to root against.
/* #editpage-specialchars { display: none; } */
* New York, as the largest market with the highest revenues, should spend in accordance with their vast resources. The [[New York Mets]] are similar in this regard, to a lesser extent and success.
* The Yankees drive attendance, merchandise sales and TV revenues, helping to subsidize less-profitable teams.
* In a free-market society, an owner who wishes to spend as much as he/she wants should not be restricted from doing so.

Against:
/* Only visible with transparent images. */
* Allowing one team to bid highly for the best talent makes it more difficult for lower-spending teams to compete.
/* See #Framed_image_background_color */
* The willingness of the Yankees to pay premium prices for top talent encourages players and their [[agents]] to demand unreasonably high prices, further diluting talent throughout the rest of the league. This phenomenon even causes the Yankees to announce their intentions not to pursue certain free agents (i.e. [[Manny Ramirez]], [[Pedro Martinez]]), who might otherwise freely use the potentiality as a bargaining chip.
