The1911New York Highlanders season saw the team finishing with a total of 76 wins and 76 losses, coming in sixth in theAmerican League.
New York was managed byHal Chase. Home games were played atHilltop Park. The alternate and equally unofficial nickname, "Yankees", was being used more and more frequently by the press.
Relations between the New York Highlanders and the enemyNew York Giants seemed to be at a boiling point until a fateful April day when a fire destroyed the main portion of the grandstand at thePolo Grounds, the Giants' home field just a few blocks away (and downhill) from the Hilltop. The Highlanders invited the Giants to play at Hilltop Park for the remainder of the 1911 season. Although the Giants were able to return to their partially rebuilt home two months later, this good deed would be remembered and returned to the Highlanders two years later.
