Yankees Managers | (1) = Interim | Research by Baseball Almanac |
The New York Yankees had several hall of famers manager their club — their names appear in bold print. From that set, Torre, Stengel, McCarthy, Huggins, and Griffith were all enshrined in Cooperstown as Hall of Fame managers!
By completion of the 2004 season, which saw Joe Torre at the helm for his ninth season, the New York Yankees had set a new team record for attendance — thanks to 3,775,292 loyal fans who attended home games at Yankee Stadium. When Joe Girardi took over the helm in 2008, a new (still unbroken) attendance record was set courtesy of 4,298,655 Yankee Stadium fans.
Did you know that the New York Yankees were once called the New York Highlanders (click here for their managers only) from 1903 through 1913?
