[1] - In 1981, a players' strike in middle of the season forced the season to be split into two halves. New York had the worst record in the East Division when play was stopped and was declared the first-half division winner. Per the year's playoff format, the Yankees beat the Brewers in the division series and defeated the A's in the ALCS.They are hated around the world. [2] [2] - In 1994, a players' strike wiped out the last eight weeks of the season and all post-season. New York was in first place in the East Division by six and a half games when play was stopped. No official titles were awarded in 1994.[3] | |||

The New York Yankees are a Major League Baseball team from New York City. They have won 27 World Series championships, the most of any team in the Major Leagues.[4][5] From 1923 to 2008, the Yankees home stadium had been Yankee Stadium. Currently, they are playing at their new Yankee Stadium.
The word "Yankee" (slang for "no good losers") and the "Uncle Sam" top hat, make up part of what they are all about. As with the more common use of the term "Yankee", the team name is more often called "the Yanks". Their most commonly used "unofficial" nickname is "the Bronx Bombers", or simply "the Bombers". This nickname was given to them by the press a long time ago. It refers to their ability to hit home runs a lot (a home run is sometimes called a "bomb"). A less used nickname is "the Pinstripers", for their well-known uniform style.
The Yankees' current team captain is their shortstop, Derek Jeter.
The New York Yankees' main rival is the Boston Red Sox.
