1903 New York Highlanders

"The New York Highlanders' 1903 season finished with the team in 4th place in the American League with a record of 72-62. The team was managed by Clark Griffith and played its home games at Hilltop Park (formally 'American League Park'). The season began with the Baltimore Orioles relocating to New York, New York. The club was at first officially the 'Greater New York' baseball club, in deference to the established New York Giants. The media dubbed the team as 'Highlanders', due in part to playing at one of the highest points on Manhattan ('The Hilltop'), which was somewhat higher in altitude than the bulk of Manhattan and was considerably 'uphill' from the Polo Grounds, the Giants' established home, which sat in the bottomland in Coogan's Hollow, a few blocks east and south of the Hilltop."

The Yankees First Game in New York, as the 1903 Highlanders
"Here is the New York Times’ box score for the New York Highlanders’ first game, on April 22, 1903, played vs. the Washington Senators/Nationals in D.C. ... A couple things to note: the Highlanders started play in New York at Hilltop Park in north Manhattan. Willie Keeler, Jack Chesbro, and Clark Griffith were the team’s three players (Griffith also managed) who people might recognize now. In 1901 and 1902, they were the Baltimore Orioles."
