New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have recorded many firsts in the sport of baseball, while working their way into the hearts of millions of fans. The whole thing started in 1903 when Frank Farrell and Bill Devery purchased the defunct Baltimore franchise of the American League for $18,000, moved their team to Manhattan and gave them the name Highlanders.

In 1915 Colonel Jacob Ruppert and Tillinghast L’Hommedieu Huston purchased the Yankees for $1.25 million
