	New York Yankees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Home ballpark: Yankee Stadium, at 161st Street and River Avenue in the Bronx, New York City, from 1923 to the present, excluding two years in the 1970s during renovation.
		The Yankees are only the third franchise in sports history to draw over 4 million in regular season attendance at their own ballpark (the others being the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays with 4,057,947 and the 1993 Colorado Rockies with 4,483,350).
		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.

		When the Yankees won their first World Series in 1923, 11 of the New York players had come from the Red Sox.

		Harry III has two sons: James, a 49-year-old film distributor who lives in Oslo, and Max, 48, a construction supervisor and conceptual artist who lives in Battery Park City in New York.

	ESPN Classic - Gehrig's awesome year worthy of AL MVP
		Three days after the New York Yankees completed their World Series sweep of the Pittsburgh Pirates, it's announced today that the MVP goes to the player who hits behind Ruth in the Yankees' lineup.
		Lou Gehrig wins the coveted honor with an awesome season: 47 home runs (only Ruth has ever hit more),.373 batting average (third best in the league), 218 hits (second) and a major-league-leading 175 runs batted in (11 more than Ruth), 447 total bases (30 more than the Babe) and 52 doubles.
		That's because he's ineligible, having won the award in 1923, and the junior circuit doesn't permit players to win it more than once.

	New York Yankees : Ballpark : Yankee Stadium History
		Because it was widely recognized that Babe Ruth's tremendous drawing power made a new stadium possible, it would immediately become known as "The House That Ruth Built."

		Yankee Stadium opened for its inaugural game on April 18, 1923 versus the Boston Red Sox.
		The Yankees organization has spent years developing plans for the self-financed stadium that will rise in Macombs Dam Park, adjacent to and north of the current field.

	New York Yankees : History : Remembering Gehrig
		Gehrig first appeared with the Bronx Bombers late in the 1923 season, at a time when Babe Ruth and America were roaring.
		Gehrig is generally considered one of the 10 best Major Leaguers of all-time, and it is fascinating to wonder what might have happened had a disease not stolen the rest of his career.
		In his 1990 biography, "Iron Horse: Lou Gehrig In His Time," Ray Robinson called them the "odd couple." He wrote that "there was too much difference in temperament and character for a firm bond of friendship to have formed." But there certainly was mutual respect, and right from the start.

	New York Yankees - Pictures
		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.
		The intention of Johnson and the American League had been to place a team in New York City, but their efforts had been stymied by the political connections that owners of the National League New York Giants had with Tammany Hall.
		The Red Sox have not won a World Series since the Ruth deal (see Curse of the Bambino) and the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry has become one of the fiercest in baseball.
