The American League Champion New York Yankees

Here it is, the best time of the baseball season. The playoffs are over, and only two teams remain to battle it out for the Major League Championship, the World Series. The next two FamSites will take a look at the two teams by visiting the official World Series site of Major League Baseball.

Today we look at the New York Yankees, a team steeped in baseball tradition. Their legacy stretches back over 70 years to a player named Babe Ruth and a batting line-up called Murder’s Row. Gherig, Larson, Mantle, Maris, Berra, Howard, Ford, the list goes on and on. At this site you can find out how the current team made the playoffs by reviewing the season, as well as finding out the important statistics. There are links to the game via RealPlayer as well as a daily video, and the ever-popular souvenir stand where you can get playoff merchandise.

So head on over and get ready for the games. The best of seven series starts on Saturday, October 23 so you don’t want to be late. Enjoy the game, and don’t forget your peanuts and popcorn.
