Which MLB team is known as the 'Bronx Bombers'?

The MLB team known as the “Bronx Bombers” is the New York Yankees.

The nickname combines the team’s home borough with its long association with powerful hitting and home runs. The Yankees moved into Yankee Stadium in the Bronx in 1923, and the arrival of Babe Ruth helped establish the club as baseball’s most famous power-hitting team. Ruth’s 60-home-run season in 1927 particularly strengthened that identity.

The phrase “Bronx Bombers” was first used by sportswriter Frank Wallace in a July 5, 1928, article in the New York Daily News. By 1935, it had become familiar among sportswriters nationwide. “The Bombers” is a common shortened form.

This nickname is sometimes confused with “Murderers’ Row,” which usually refers to the Yankees’ exceptionally strong 1927 lineup, or “the Pinstripes,” which refers to the team’s uniforms. All three describe the Yankees, but “Bronx Bombers” specifically emphasizes their location and home-run tradition.
