Default Interesting Snapshot Photos of first "Yankees" Game
Posted By: Dan Bretta

The photos don't tell that story, but the history books do. The NY American league team was the Highlanders from 1903-1912 and the Yankees from 1913 to present. This ceremony took place honoring Frank Chance when he was named manager of the New York club. I should add that the Yankees opened the season on the road in 1913 and these are photos from their first home game at the Polo grounds.
