The New York Yankees were a baseball team on Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries, representing New York City. The team was famous for players such as Joe DiMaggio and Roger Maris.
Vin felt the 1999 Yanks were the greatest team ever to play the game, though he met resistance from Bernardo Calvera and Benjamin Sisko in making that assessment. (DS9: "Past Tense, Part II")
Even though "Past Tense, Part II" was shot in 1995, the New York Yankees would go on to win the World Series in 1999.
John Kelly was a more general fan of the Yankees and regretted he would never know who won the World Series in 2032. Shortly prior to his death, the Yankees won in six games. (VOY: "One Small Step")
One of the holoprograms on Deep Space 9 offered a hypothetical game pitting the 1961 Yankees against the 1978 Red Sox. Jake Sisko and Kasidy Yates watched the game in the holosuite in late 2372. (DS9: "For the Cause")
The 1961 Yankees are considered one of the best baseball teams of all time, headlined by stars such as Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle. That year, Maris set a Major League record by hitting 61 home runs, a record that still stood when "For the Cause" aired in 1996.
In ENT: "Carbon Creek", which takes place in October 1957, T'Mir and Mestral listen to a baseball game on the radio. The only possible baseball game that month (after the end of the professional season) would have been a World Series matchup between the 1957 Yankees and the Milwaukee Braves. However, most of the players named appear to be fictional.
