Last year, the Yankees acquired Jerry Hairston Jr.,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and he was a key to their World Series Championship.
Manchester United was formed in 1878 by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath as Newton Heath LYR Football Club. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a regional football league. However, following the league dissolution after just one season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with the Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892 to 93 season in the First Division,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by which time it had become independent of the rail company and dropped the LYR from its name. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division. The New York Yankees acquired three veterans by the July 31st trade deadline. The three players are Austin Kearns,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Kerry Wood from the Cleveland Indians, and Lance Berkman from the Houston Astros.
We all know these three new Yankees can play,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but will they be able to shine in the city that never sleeps? Newton Heath initially played on a field on North Road, close to the railway yard. the original capacity was about 12,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but club officials deemed the facilities inadequate for a club hoping to join The Football League. Some expansion took place in 1887, and in 1891 Newton Heath used its minimal financial reserves to purchase two grandstands, each able to hold 1,000 spectators. Although attendances were not recorded for many of the earliest matches at North Road, the highest documented attendance was approximately 15,000 for a First Division match against Sunderland on 4 March 1893. A similar attendance was also recorded for a friendly match against Gorton Villa on fifth September 1889.
