New York Yankees

Denis Leary gets New York Yankees merchandise, because of Bart Simpson.

The New York Yankees are a current Major League Baseball (MLB) team in the Bronx, New York.

History

The Devil was off in his calculation of the next time the Yankees would have won the American League pennant: not "a century from now," but 1996, one of their twenty-seven World Series championship teams.

Don Mattingly was once forced by Charles Montgomery Burns to cut is sideburns in reference to former aggressive Yankees owner, George Steinbrenner's "no facial hair or hair longer than your neck" rule. Coincidentally, a year before, Mattingly was forced in real life to cut his long hair.

Bart once used Denis Leary's cell phone to order a New York Yankees hat and Derek Jeter jersey, much to Leary's annoyance, as he is a big Boston Red Sox fan.

Behind the Laughter

The New York Yankees are a baseball team that is in the American League since their creation in 1903. The Yankees were originally the Baltimore Orioles and later the New York Highlanders. Since their change to the current name, the New York Yankees, they have won twenty-seven World Series championships and forty American League pennants, which is the most in Major League Baseball history. The next team, the St. Louis Cardinals, only have eleven World Series championships.

At the time Homer at the Bat was recorded, only Steve Sax and Don Mattingly had played for the New York Yankees. However, four of the other players would later play for the Yankees (Boggs, Clemens, Canseco, and Strawberry).

Denis Leary is a big Boston Red Sox fan, both in The Simpsons and in real life. This represents the Boston Red Sox-New York Yankees rivalry.
