	New York Yankees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		In 1990, Yankee pitcher Andy Hawkins became the first Yankees pitcher ever to lose a no-hitter, when the third baseman committed an error, followed by 2 walks and an error by the left fielder (Deion Sanders, later of NFL fame) with the bases loaded, scoring all 3 runners as well as the batter.
		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).

		During the early 1900s, the nickname "Yankees" was occasionally applied to the club, as a variant on "Americans", verifiably as early as June 21, 1904, when Patsy Dougherty was traded from Boston to New York, and the Boston Herald's article was headlined, "Dougherty as a Yankee".
		Yankee players also dominated the American League MVP award, with a Yankee claiming ownership six times in the decade (1950- Rizzuto, 1951- Berra, 1954- Berra, 1955- Berra, 1956- Mantle, 1957- Mantle).
		The Yankees' quick ejection from the 2002 playoffs at the hands of the Anaheim Angels (now known as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim) accelerated the changes, as ownership and management began to look increasingly on free agent acquisitions and major trades.

		Nominated for eleven Academy Awards in 1943, THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES is still regarded by many today as the finest baseball movie ever made.
		Though many of Gehrig's baseball records have since been broken, his legend and example remain intact, thanks in no small part to the humanity with which the creators of THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES chose to approach his life story and Cooper's performance in the role.
		One of the key cinematic components of the romance in THE PRIDE OF THE YANKEES is Irving Berlin's love song "Always" (a favorite of both Lou and Eleanor Gehrig and Sam Goldwyn) which permeates the film.

		Gehrig is shown wearing his famous number 4 when the Yankees play the World Series, but that happened in 1926 and 1928 while the Bronx Bombers did not start wearing uniform numbers until 1929 (Gehrig batted cleanup and was 4, Babe Ruth batted in front of him and was therefore 3).
		But none of that really matters because "The Pride of the Yankees" remains the standard by which all sports biopics, whether of baseball players or anyone else, are judged.
		In many ways "The Pride of the Yankees" is more of a love story than a baseball theme.

		Nominated for eleven Academy Awards (including Best Picture), The Pride of the Yankees is a marvelous film, whose only flaw (if it has any) is that it paints its subject as something of a saint (it is a little difficult to believe that the man never had a bad day).
