| How Long Have The New York Yankees Been A Team In Major League Baseball |
From Highlanders to Heroes
Let's rewind the clock to the early 1900s. Picture this: a time when mustaches were cool, cars were a novelty, and baseball was just starting to become a real thing. In 1903, a group of baseball enthusiasts decided New York City needed its own team. They didn't call them the Yankees right away, though. Nope, they were originally known as the Highlanders. Can you imagine a baseball team called the Highlanders? It's like naming your kid "Excelsior".
Tip: Each paragraph has one main idea — find it.
But fear not, in 1913, they finally got their act together and rebranded to the New York Yankees. And the rest, as they say, is history. A really long history.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
More Years Than a Turtle's Shell
So, to cut a long story short (which is ironic, considering the length of this post), the New York Yankees have been a Major League Baseball team since 1903. That's right, they've been around for over a century. They've seen world wars, the invention of television, and countless fashion trends come and go. And yet, there they are, still swinging for the fences.
