How long have the New York Yankees been around?

Answer 1

My husband says they have been playing since before 1928 that's the year my husband was born. Is this correct or is it sooner than that year.

I am a New Yorker born in 1934 and remember all my live the exsistance of Yankees playing Baseball in New York. I was raised in the Bronx, went to Walton High School and use to pass the Yankee stadium twice a day for 4 years. I did go see games in the Bronx. I do not remember the dates. I love the Yankees when they loose I cry when they win I sleep well. All of them are my favorite. I do not know how long they are playing because I live in Puerto Rico 51 yrs. I miss the games on t.v. cause they are not transmitted all the time. I get angry cause there is no need not to see them play but the companies do not transmit their games to Puerto Rico all the time.

I feel fortunate to see them this World Series playing cause it might be my last.

Thank you or letting me say what I feel. New York is my home, the Bronx is where I was raised, and soon I will say good bye.
