10,000 wins.
A franchise that is known in every crevice of the world has hit a record milestone. The New York Yankees are winners of 10,000 games under the Yankees’ name.
New York adopted the Yankees name after 9 failed years as the New York Highlanders (1903-12). As an overall team dating back to 1903, the Yankees have a 10,734-8,102 record, which adds up to a .570 winning percentage.
The Yankees 10,000th win came in an 8-1 bashing of the Red Sox at Fenway. The blowout loss gave Boston their 9,217th loss all-time.
