With the two year exception of 1974 and 1975, the New York Yankees have called the Bronx home since 1923. The story of how they ended up there is quite an interesting one, to say the least.
It all began in 1920, when the Yankees played their home games at the Polo Grounds, the home of the New York Giants. Thanks to new acquisition Babe Ruth, the Yankees had the turnstiles humming, drawing nearly 1.3 million fans. This was 100,000 more fans than the Giants drew. That did not sit too well with their landlords. So in early 1921, the Giants told the Yankees to vacate the premises.
