The New York Yankees have played in the current Yankee stadium from 1923 until 2008, and will move into their new home next year. This ever popular team has 26 World Series championships, and has had many famous players along with some legendary coaches. Yogi Berra was a player for many years before turning to coaching and managing. He coached the Yankees from 1976 to 1983, winning the American League pennant in 1976 and 1981, and the World Series in 1977 and 1978. Joe Girardi was the bench coach in 2005, and is presently the manager of the Yankees. Willie Randolph is probably more known for his 13 seasons playing for the Yankees, but he was also a base and bench coach for 11 seasons.

John Schulte began his coaching career in 1933, and, in 1934, he joined Joe McCarthy with the Yankees. Schulte coached for 15 seasons, from 1934 through 1948, under managers McCarthy, Bill Dickey, Johnny Neun and Bucky Harris. Joe Torre was the manager that brought such outstanding statistics to the team from 1996 to 2007. Torre worked with Jose Cardenal from 1996 to 1999, Mel Stottlemyre from 1996 to 2005, Gary Tuck from 1997 to 1999 and again from 2003 to 2004, and Don Zimmer from 1996 to 2003. Stottlemyre successfully lowered the teams ERA to 3.84 in 1997 and 3.82 in 1998 from a 4.65 in 1996. Zimmer was the bench coach during the Yankees run of four World Series titles.

With the Joe Torre era gone and the old stadium gone, the 2009 season is starting with a clean slate.
