The New York Yankees were a baseball team on Earth in the 20th and 21st centuries, one of the most successful in the history of the sport. Their victory in the 1999 season was considered exceptional, and cited by Benjamin Sisko as perhaps the greatest team ever. (DS9 episode: "Past Tense, Part II")
Ares IV astronaut John Kelly was a fan of the Yankees, and when his ship was thrown from Mars orbit in 2032, he lamented that he would never know how the Yankees fared in that year's World Series against the London Kings. (The Yankees won in six games.) (VOY episode: "One Small Step")
The Yankees again faced the London Kings in the last World Series game played on Earth, in 2042. That series was won by the Kings, on a home run hit by Buck Bokai. (novel: Articles of the Federation)
A holoprogram on Deep Space 9 presented a game between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, their historic rivals. (DS9 episode: "For the Cause")
