It was hand drawn The Yankees were the NY highlanders until the begining of the 20th century. Its that old. Although you might look up Steinbrenner Grotesk

thanks for the information...

does anybody knows where i could find this font?

Goran, sorry that was my idea of a bad joke. The Yankee owner is George Steinbrenner and he just buys championships by spending Grotesk amounts of money. His team this coming year will have salaries totaling over 180 million dollars and he doesn't care. The Brewers in the National league have a 30 million dollar budget for its players.

Maybe this is the logo Goran is referring to?

Yves, here is a link to NY Yankees and logo

i see :-))

i'm not familiar with baseball at all, as you've noticed :-)

thanks for your answers, i needed to do some text for a book cover in that font, so in the end i hand lettered it myself...

Goran, the best solution is your handlettering. The history of the Yankees is interesting, did you know about the curse of the Babe?

Where on their website can I see what it looks like?

Actually, as typographic jokes go this one was pretty
funny... now I know what it means: this stuff is somewhat
obscure for non-Americans.

I'd still really'd like to see a sample. Anyone?
