The New York Yankees Major League franchise began in 1901 in Baltimore, named the Orioles. The team moved to New York in 1903, and the team name was changed to the Highlanders. In 1913 the team name was changed to The New York Yankees. The New York Yankees organization considers 1903 to be their first year.
