New York Yankees
The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of the Bronx, in New York CityNew York. The Yankees are a member of the Eastern Division of Major League Baseball's American League. From to the present, the Yankees have played in Yankee Stadium.The "Yankees" name originated as a variation of "American", after the team's league. This name is often shortened to "the Yanks". Their most prominently used nickname is "the Bronx Bombers" or simply "the Bombers", a reference to their home and their prolific hitting. A less used nickname is "the Pinstripers", in reference to the iconic feature on their home uniforms. Critics often refer to the team and the organization as "the Evil Empire," a term applied to the Yankees by Boston Red Sox owner Larry Lucchino in a 2002 interview with the New York Times. A term from the team's tumultuous late 70's, "the Bronx Zoo", is also sometimes used by detractors, as well as "the Damn Yankees", after the musical of the same name. These have all been embraced by fans.
