Where did the New York Yankees get the nickname the Bronx Bombers?
The Yankees started out as the Baltimore Orioles. When the Baltimore franchise went bankrupt after 3 years, they then became the Highlanders. They played in a hastily constructed, all-wood park at 168th Street and Broadway. Because the site is one of the highest spots in Manhattan, the club was known as the "Highlanders" and their home field "Hilltop Park". They were renamed the "Yankees"after that name began popping up in newspapers, whose editors were searching for a shorter name for their headlines. The name was officially changed in 1913. As far as I can gather, the name, "The Yankees", was more of a derogatory name in origin. The information I have given comes from Yankees.com, in their "History" section.
