Use of name "Yankees"
Posted By: runscott
There was some discussion previously about when the name "Yankees" was first used to describe the New York team - earliest references I recall were from the back of a t205 card (1911). In reading through some of my old Sporting Life papers from 1910 I've found references to the "Yankees", e.g: "There is gloom in the camp of the Yankees and their followers..." The article refers to a double-header sweep by the Philadelphia Athletics. Interestingly, the headline reads "The Highlanders Cause Distress by Their Slump in Philadelphia" -(July 9,1910)The article refers to them as the "Yankees" three times, "Highlanders" twice, and "Yanks" once.
