They did not exist then. They were founded in 1901 as the Baltimore Orioles, then moved to New York in 1903 as the Highlanders then became the Yankees in 1913.

Not quite; They were the Baltimore Orioles of the National League. They switched leagues in 1901.

Not quite. The Baltimore Orioles of the National League were contracted as a team after the 1900 season by the National League. The 'Yankees' a brand new team with no home tried to go to NY but the Giants blocked the move into the city. They then went to Baltimore in 1901 the first season of the franchise which is now called the New York Yankees.

As the bottom link shows if you scroll down, they were the old Baltimore Orioles of the National League.

Not sure if anyone saw but the little girl that was killed in the Tucson shooting was the daughter of former Yankee John Green. Her grandfather was former Yankee manager Dallas Green. Condolences to her family and the other families affected by the attack.
