Were the New York Yankees ever called the Baltimore Orioles?
According to MLB's official historian, John Thorn, the current New York Yankees franchise was not the Baltimore Orioles that existed in 1901 and 1902. His quote:
"We discussed this at length when we did the first edition of our new encyclopedia in 2004. IIRC, the deciding factor was that the Baltimore franchise went bust during the season and was turned over to the league. After the season, the league then sold a new franchise to investors in New York City. We felt that wasn't really a relocation or a transfer; it was simply filling the gap in the league that was opened when the Orioles' franchise disintegrated.
Of the 39 players who appeared for Baltimore in 1902, only five appeared for New York in 1903. Jimmy Williams was the regular second baseman for both clubs. Herm McFarland, a utility player in '02, became a regular outfielder in '03. Ernie Courtney played one game for Balto. in 1902, then 25 for NY in 1903. Harry Howell was the only pitcher of consequence to make the transition. Snake Wiltse (4 G in '03) also appeared for both."
As such, Major League Baseball no longer recognizes the 1901 and 1902 Baltimore Orioles as the same franchise as the New York Highlanders and Yankees.
