The Highlanders were born when the original Baltimore Orioles franchise relocated to upper Manhattan in 1903. Their new ballpark sat on one of the highest points in New York City — hence the "Highlanders" name — but local fans favored the long-established Giants and dismissed the newcomers as "the Invaders." The team finished as runner-up in the major leagues's American League three times but never won the pennant during this era.

After moving to the Polo Grounds in 1913 and gradually adopting the Yankees nickname, the franchise's lineage has continued in the major leagues ever since. Hall of Famers from the Highlanders years included player-manager Clark Griffith, spitballer Jack Chesbro (who won an AL-record 41 games in 1904), Wee Willie Keeler, and Hal Chase.
