The original Yankees diffused widely across the northern United States, leaving their imprints in New York, the Upper Midwest, many taking advantage of water routes by the Great Lakes, and places as far away as Seattle, San Francisco, and Honolulu. [22] Stollznow, Karen. 2006. "Key Words in the Discourse of Discrimination: A Semantic Analysis. PhD Dissertation: University of New England., Chapter 5. At 87, White is not one to sit around. His interests are broad. “I was second in my high school class-and was also the class president. My mother wanted me to be a doctor then. I chose baseball and signed with the Giants. My lady and I have traveled a lot. Peter O’Malley took me took me to Japan with the Dodgers. We’ve been to Australia. I love the outdoors and had a vacation home for years in Canada.” Major League Baseball's New York Yankees acquired the name from journalists after the team moved from Baltimore in 1903, though they were officially known as the Highlanders until 1913. The regional Yankees–Red Sox rivalry can make the utterance of the term "Yankee" unwelcome to some fans in New England, especially to the most dedicated Red Sox fans living in the northeastern United States.

Susan E. Gray (1996). The Yankee West: Community Life on the Michigan Frontier. Univ of North Carolina Press. p.11. Many etymologies have been suggested for the word Yankee, but modern linguists generally reject theories which suggest that it originated in any Indian languages. [13] This includes a theory put forth by a British officer in 1789, who said that it was derived from the Cherokee word eankke meaning "coward"—despite the fact that no such word existed in the Cherokee language. [13] Another theory surmised that the word was borrowed from the Wyandot [18] pronunciation of the French l'anglais, meaning "the Englishman" or "the English language", which was sounded as Y'an-gee. [13] [19] The Yankees have an immense amount of money invested in just eight contracts, which total just seven players currently on the roster. Unfortunately, aside from Judge and Cole, the 2022 AL MVP and 2023 AL Cy Young, this group is filled with questions. Can Rodón put an injury-filled disaster of a Bronx introduction behind him and return to the pitcher who was arguably the league’s best in 2021 and 2022? Will age continue to catch up with Stanton and LeMahieu? Is Rizzo’s concussion behind him? Can Kahnle regain the consistency that made him a key part of the Yankees bullpen in 2017 and 2019? Only time will tell. Arbitration-Eligible Players

As for White’s relationship with Messer, “A good guy but Phil and I were a lot closer because we both played. Frank was a better broadcaster than we were. The Yankees made a mistake not renewing his contract (in 1985).” How about the well known issues between Joe Garagiola and Harry Caray in St. Louis when they called Cardinals games in the late 1950s? White explained that “Joe was so popular and didn’t have to work his way up to the booth. Caray felt he didn’t pay his dues.” While Aaron Boone may not have a lot of accolades throughout his career, he hit one of the most historical runs in Yankee history. The Yankees are going to be active on the trade market this winter. Don’t take my word from it, and don’t take the reports linking Soto to the Yankees or suggesting that Torres might be available. Look instead at the number of catchers on the 40-man roster: SIX!

Lemay, J. A. Leo "The American Origins of Yankee Doodle", William and Mary Quarterly 33 (Jan 1976) 435–64 in JSTOR The term Swamp Yankee is sometimes used in rural Rhode Island, Connecticut, and southeastern Massachusetts to refer to Protestant farmers of moderate means and their descendants, although it is often regarded as a derogatory term. [7] Scholars note that the famous Yankee "twang" survives mainly in the hill towns of interior New England, though it is disappearing even there. [49]That shows the class of the organization,” Hendriks said. “I will be forever grateful and it’s something they didn’t have to do but it is very much appreciated.” Since the team moved to New York, the letters “NY” were used in Old English lettering to represent their new home city. 1904 Ivy League universities remained bastions of old Yankee culture until well after World War II, particularly Harvard and Yale. Aristide R. Zolberg (2006). A Nation by Design: Immigration Policy in the Fashioning of America. Harvard University Press. p.520. The term Yankee and its contracted form Yank have several interrelated meanings, all referring to people from the United States. Their various meanings depend on the context, and may refer to New Englanders, the Northeastern United States, the Northern United States, or to people from the US in general. [2] [3] [4]

Bill did and he credits KMOX Radio’s legendary general manager Bob Hyland who took White under his wing. “Hyland was great to me. I had a five-minute show with Bob Gibson. Hyland had me go out with the salespeople and I actually sold some air-time myself. Hyland was an amazing man. He never left his office.” Davis, Harold.

The Online Etymology Dictionary gives its origin as around 1683, attributing it to English colonists insultingly referring to Dutch colonists. English privateer William Dampier relates his dealings in 1681 with Dutch privateer Captain Yanky or Yanke. Linguist Jan de Vries notes that there was mention of a pirate named Dutch Yanky in the 17th century. [16] The Life and Adventures of Sir Launcelot Greaves (1760) contains the passage, "Haul forward thy chair again, take thy berth, and proceed with thy story in a direct course, without yawing like a Dutch yanky." [17] According to this theory, Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam started using the term against the English colonists of neighboring Connecticut. [15] Rejected etymologies [ edit ]
