New York Yankees: A Heritage of Avarice and Theft

The Soxaholix scoop a scintillating interview about the origin of the New York Yankees. The Yankees, of course, were a Baltimore club their first year, but in 1903 (the year the Red Sox won the first World Series), they were bought by a Tammany Hall police crook, who proceeded to steal the famous 'NY' logo from the police department's heroes who died in the line of fire.

I see a great lawsuit here: the police heroes who died on 9/11 sue for revenues on all the Yankee merchandise... the Yanks would have to settle lucratively with them to avoid hugely negative publicity. Muahaha!
