The Curse of The Bambino and other trivia you never knew about. New York has won an AL pennant and appeared in a World Series in every decade since the 1920s. The legendary Yankees dynasty of the 1920s and 1930s won 11 pennants and 8 World Series championships, with players such as outfielders Babe Ruth, Earle Combs, and Joe DiMaggio; first baseman Lou Gehrig; infielder Tony Lazzeri; and pitcher Waite Hoyt. From 1941 to 1947 New York continued its success, winning 4 pennants and 3 World Series titles. Manager Casey Stengel guided the Yankees from 1948 through 1960, the team's most overpowering era. During this period the club won ten AL pennants and seven World Series championships, including five straight championships from 1949 to 1953, a major league record. The teams Stengel managed featured DiMaggio, catcher Yogi Berra, pitcher Whitey Ford, and outfielders Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris. The Yankee dynasty continued through the early 1960s, as the team won the AL pennant from 1961 to 1964 and World Series crowns in 1961 and 1962. The next period of greatness came in the 1970s, after businessman George Steinbrenner bought the franchise and hired former Yankee shortstop Billy Martin as manager. Led by outfielder Reggie Jackson, the Yankees won three straight pennants from 1976 through 1978, going on to win the World Series in 1977 and 1978. The Yankees won another AL pennant in 1981. After a relative dry spell, the franchise returned to dominance in the late 1990s, winning the World Series in 1996, 1998, 1999, and 2000. The Yankees franchise originated as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901, but it moved from Maryland to Manhattan Island in 1903 because AL president Ban Johnson wanted an AL team in New York City. Named the Highlanders for the elevated ground on which its stadium was built, the franchise struggled in its new home. In 1913 the club moved to the Polo Grounds, a stadium it shared with the National League's New York Giants (now the San Francisco Giants). Even with a new home and a new name, Yankees, the club remained near the bottom of the AL.
