New York Yankees Biography and History :
Few teams in professional sports have a long and storied history to match that of the New York Yankees. The 27 time World Series champion has had a rabid fan base that fill Yankee Stadium year after year making it difficult for any team to come to the Bronx. Put on your pinstripes and get your New York Yankees tickets on TicketNetwork.com as they battle for the AL East title.
 The history of the New York Yankees begins back in 1903 when Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased a failing franchise out of Baltimore and moved it to New York. The team began under the nickname of the Highlanders and it was not until 10 years later when the team started playing their home games at the Polo Grounds that they became known as the Yankees. In 1918 the fate of the New York Yankees changed forever with one decision to purchase Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox for $125,000. For his time with the Yankees, Ruth is known as maybe the greatest baseball player to ever live and everyone who has or will ever purchase Yankees tickets will remember his greatness.
The New York Yankees have had a litany of Hall of Fame players put on the pinstripes. Lou Gehrig was recognized for years as the iron man of baseball playing in 2,130 straight games, a streak that lasted from 1925 to 1939. Aside from being immortalized by Paul Simon in song, Joe Dimaggio is also known for his incredible hitting streak. A record that still stands to this day, his 56-game hitting streak has not even been close to being touched in the years since it was set. From Mantle to Maris, from Rizzuto to Jackson, the millions of fans who bought NY Yankees tickets have had the chance to see some of the greatest players to ever live.
While the Yankees have their fair share of players already in Cooperstown, they also have many future Hall of Famers as well. Of course there is Derek Jeter, the star shortstop who has proven to be as clutch of a performer that there is in the majors. Pitcher Mariano Rivera is maybe the greatest closer to ever play, and is as intimidating a relief pitcher that there is. Finding Yankees tickets can be intimidating as well, but when you look on TicketNetwork, you will find the best selection of cheap tickets for Yankee games all season long.
