Yankee Fun Fact of the Day

Did you know that New York didn't have pinstripes on there uniforms until April 11, 1912. However they were not the first pinstripe uniform in baseball. It was the Chicago Cubs who introduced them first in 1907.

Presently today the pinstripes on the uniforms today are midnight blue, but back then they started off as black pinstripes. But in 1913 the Highlanders had gotten rid of the pinstripes, claiming it may have been due to all the losses they had that season. No worries because the stripes were back on those uniforms in 1915.

"Putting those pinstripes on was the closest thing I could say [I've had] to an out-of-body experience. ... I sat there and looked in the mirror. I was in total awe."
