Yankees

Pinstriped Bronx team

The Yankees are the New York Yankees, one of baseball's most storied franchises, known for their pinstriped uniforms and record number of World Series championships.

The team inspires intense loyalty and equally intense hatred across American sports: The Yankees are playing the Red Sox tonight.

Fans are often called Yankees fans or Yankee supporters. (Lowercase yankees refers to Americans or Northerners generally.)
