2009 New York Yankees MLB Preview:
The New York Yankees will once again one of the best teams in baseball in 2009. The question for the Yankees is whether they can turn all of their talented players into another World Series Championship. The Yanks have not won a World Series title since 2000 or an American League Pennant since 2003; which for the Bronx Bombers is an eternity. The Yankees franchise has won 26 World Series in their history and almost 40 AL Pennants, so New York fans expect results.
The 2009 Yankees will be led by Manager Joe Girardi and All-Star shortstop Derek Jeter. Jeter will once again have plenty of talent surrounding him in the batting order, including Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui. New York also upgraded their pitching staff by adding CC Sabathia to a group that already included Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, and Mariano Rivera. The NY Yankees lineup will truly be stacked in 2009. The other big change for Yankees fans is the inaugural season in new Yankee Stadium. The Bronx Bombers retired the old Yankee Stadium last season after playing there since 1923. The new Yankee Stadium should provide an amazing atmosphere to watch baseball. Maybe, if things go right, it will host its first Yankees World Series game in 2009.

The New York Yankees play baseball in the East Division of Major League Baseball's American League. The Yankees are one of the most storied teams in all of baseball. The franchise began in 1901 in Baltimore as the Orioles (no relation to that current franchise) but was moved to New York City in 1903 and named the New York Highlanders. By 1913 the nickname "Yankees" had finally stuck and became the teams official name. The NY Yankees have won an incredible 26 World Series titles, 39 American League pennants, and 15 division titles as of 2007. A very long list of baseball legends that have played for the Yankees includes Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Reggie Jackson, and Don Mattingly only to name a few. A Yanks game will always instill a sense of awe and history in any baseball fan.
The Yankees moved to the new Yankee Stadium for the 2009 MLB season. Three years of construction with an estimated 1.5 billion dollar price tag, the New Yankee's Stadium is an ultra-modern venue for one of baseball's biggest franchises. A capacity of 52,325 places it slightly lower than the previous Yankee Stadium, though the design pays homage to the venerable 1923 version. Not without controversy, the new Yankee Stadium is now in business, and only time will tell if this version lasts another 85 years.
