New York: Looking back at the New York Yankees

This popular All-American baseball team was actually known as the
Highlanders during its humble beginnings, but apparently the nickname
Highlanders couldn’t really catch on fast with the local sportswriters
which is why they often used the monicker Yankees or Yanks (the
nickname Yankees were actually coined from the fact that the New York
Yankees were an All-American team while  American locals are actually
referred to as Yanks mostly by the British).
