The [[New York Yankees]] are a professional [[baseball]] team based in [[the Bronx]], New York. They compete in the [[American League East|East Division]] of [[Major League Baseball]]'s (MLB) [[American League]] (AL). After beginning play in Baltimore, Maryland as the Baltimore Orioles in 1901, the club moved to New York two years later and became the Highlanders; in 1913, the team changed its nickname to the Yankees.<ref>{{cite web | last = Neyer | first = Rob | authorlink = Rob Neyer | title = Back when baseball was really messed up | publisher = [[ESPN]] | date = July 16, 2002 | url = http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=neyer_rob&id=1406240 | accessdate = February 13, 2009 }}</ref> From 1901 to 2013, the franchise has won more than 9,000 games and 27 [[World Series]] championships.<ref name="team">{{cite web | title = Complete Baseball Team and Baseball Team Encyclopedias | work = [[Baseball-Reference]] | publisher = Sports Reference LLC | url = http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/ | accessdate = February 13, 2009 }}</ref> The list below documents players and teams that hold particular club records.

[[Outfielder]] [[Babe Ruth]] holds the most franchise records, with 16, including career and single-season [[home run]]s, [[batting average]], and [[on-base percentage]]. [[First baseman]] [[Lou Gehrig]] has the second-most records among [[Batting (baseball)|hitters]], with four; his marks include career and single-season [[runs batted in]]. Among [[pitcher]]s, [[Whitey Ford]] has the most Yankees records with five, all of which are career totals. These include [[Win (baseball)|games won]], [[games started]], and [[innings pitched]].

Several Yankees hold AL and MLB records. Ruth has MLB single-season records for [[extra-base hit]]s and [[total bases]], and holds four other AL single-season records. Outfielder [[Joe DiMaggio]] recorded hits in 56 consecutive games in the [[1941 Major League Baseball season|1941 season]], a total that remains an MLB record. [[Jack Chesbro]] holds three AL records that he set [[1904 New York Highlanders season|in 1904]]: games won, games started, and [[complete game]]s.
