Interesting Snapshot Photos of first "Yankees" Game

Posted By: Dan Bretta

A couple of years ago I bought a group of 7 snapshots from a fellow board member and since that time I have discovered that they are from the first home game of the 1913 season which also happens to be the first time the New York American team was called the "Yankees". How do I know this? In one of the photos you can see them preparing the wreath presented to Frank Chance which is dated 1913....subsequently I have found a professionally taken photograph of the ceremony which shows the same wreath. Just wanted to share a little Yankee history with you all.

I want to add that these photos are from the Polo Grounds and I'm not certain, but it may be the first time the Yanks played there also. They may have played some exhibition games there or maybe some regular season games prior to 1913...I haven't figured that out yet.
