    I'm sure you old timers will get this is seconds, but it was so interesting, I wanted to post it.


    In what location did the modern day NY Yankee Franchise first begin? What was their team name?


    When babe Ruth left boarding school, what team did he sign with first?

    The Franchise moved from Baltimore in 1903. They were called the Highlanders and became the Yankees in 1913. In September of 1921 they win their first pennant.

    and no! I did not have to look it up!

    My guess is the Babe signed with the Red Sox first.

    Pretty good. It's strange to think the Yanks were actually the Baltimore Orioles for two years. So if you're an Orioles fan, uhm, in a strange sort of way you were a Yankee fan.

    Babe ruth first signed with the Baltimore Orioles, a minor league team that replaced the Oriole franchise that moved to Manhattan in 1903....

    Strange twists of fate.

    they began in satans mind and then moved to new york origanally they were called the spawn, but Yankees seemed a more pc name. Although I have heard their name might be changed again to "Cha Ching"

    sorry I had to vent on the Yankees. I am okay I am oaky

    breath in and out
