The New York Yankees have established what success looks like, not only for Major League Baseball teams, but for American sports teams in general. Yankees Stadium, located in the Bronx, New York, has a seating capacity of 57,746. Those nearly 60,000 seats in Yankee Stadium have witnessed as much history and achievement as any in major sports. The Yankees compete in the AL East Division of the American League, against main rivals the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Tampa Bay Rays, and Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees finished the 2007 MLB Schedule with a 94-68 record and a 2nd place finish in the American League East. GM Brian Cashman oversees the largest payroll in MLB, but took a definitive stance to get back to the plan that made the Yankees so successful in the late 1990's. That approach was to allow the farm system to develop instead of using it exclusively for trades to attract baseball's top free agents. While the Yankees were able to acquire stars Alex Rodriguez, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui via free agency, Yankee icons Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera, as well as young phenom Joba Chamberlain were products of the Yankee farm system.
The Yankees Franchise began in 1913, and won its first World Series just 10 years later in 1923. Owner George M. Steinbrenner who's one of the most controversial figures in all of sports, understood the legacy he inherited when he purchased the club in 1973. Under Steinbrenner's very hands on leadership, the Yankees have won 10 pennants and 6 World Series. Steinbrenner has established that winning the World Series is the acceptable goal; anything less is simply unacceptable. The Yankees had acceptable seasons, or were World Series Champions in 1923, 1927, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1941, 1943, 1947, 1949, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1961, 1962, 1977, 1978, 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000. The Yankees have had a greater collection of talent on its roster than any other team, evidenced by their collection of retired jerseys: 1 Billy Martin, 3 Babe Ruth, 4 Lou Gehrig, 5 Joe DiMaggio, 7 Mickey Mantle, 8 Yogi Berra & Bill Dickey, 9 Roger Maris, 10 Phil Rizzuto, 15 Thurman Munson, 16 Whitey Ford, 23 Don Mattingly, 32 Elston Howard, 37 Casey Stengel, 44 Reggie Jackson, and 49 Ron Guidry.
The 2008 season is met with high expectations like every other season, despite Hank Steinbrenner taking responsibility for more of the day to day operations instead of his father. 2008 will feature a huge change in the dugout, as former Yankees catcher Joe Girardi takes over as Yankees manager. The Yankees will again feature their explosive line-up and dominant closer, and the starting rotation has a great blend of veteran hurlers and young arms. The 2008 season will be memorable regardless of the record; Yankee Stadium will host the New York Yankees for the final year, giving way to the new Yankee Stadium scheduled to be open in time for Opening Day 2009.
