With 4 months until baseball in Chicago returns, I thought it would be interesting to look at the all time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We continue today with the New York Yankees.
The Yankees began life in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, moving to New York in time for the 1903 season. I’ve seen them play 21 times, first in 1997 and most recently this past August.
