| Looking back at the New York Yankees
They often used the monicker Yankees or Yanks (the nickname Yankees were actually coined from the fact that the New York Yankees were an AllAmerican team while American locals are actually referred to as Yanks mostly by the British).The most famous insignia in sports is actually the interlocking NY which actually made its first appearance on the New York Yankees' (known then as the Highlanders) sleeves and caps way back in the year 1909.As the interlocking NY insignia gained more and more popularity, the New York Yankees decided to incorporate it at the front part of their uniforms while having matching navy blue baseball caps.The immensely popular interlocking NY insignia was actually designed way back in 1877 by a fellow named Louis B. Tiffany who originally designed the popular insignia for a NYPD officer named John McDowell who was highly regarded at that time for his bravery and dedication to his work. Mr. McDowell was actually the first New York police officer who was shot during the time of duty.Bill Devery, who was a former police chief as well as one of the New York Yankees original owners chose the popular insignia for the New York Yankees' uniforms, he made the insignia a permanent fixture on the baseball players' uniforms.From 1903 up to the present, the New York Yankees had several managers,[url=http://www.sport.fr/smartphones/moncler.asp]doudoune moncler[/url], 41 all in all, starting with Clark Griffith to Joe Torre (the current New York Yankees manager from the year 1996 up to the present).The New York Yankees has a total of 26 world champions to date while a World Series appearance totalling to 39 all in all.The New York Yankees also boasts of 40 Hall of Fame awardees, including the ever popular Joe DiMaggio (19361942, 19461951) and Mickey Mantle (19511969) he was even able to acquire three Most Valuable Awards during his career with the New York Yankees, while Joe DiMaggio had three as well and everyone's favorite, Babe Ruth received just one. |
