The Boston Yanks were a National Football League team based in Boston, Massachusetts, that played from 1944 to 1948. The team played its home games at Fenway Park. Any games that conflicted with the Boston Red Sox baseball schedule in the American League were held at Braves Field of the cross-town National League team, the Boston Braves. Team owner Ted Collins, who managed singer and television show host Kate Smith (1907–1986) for thirty years, picked the name Yanks because he originally wanted to run a team that played at New York City's old Yankee Stadium. The Yanks could manage only a 2–8 record during their first regular season.

  • The Boston Yanks were a National Football League team based in Boston, Massachusetts, that played from 1944 to 1948. The team played its home games at Fenway Park. Any games that conflicted with the Boston Red Sox baseball schedule in the American League were held at Braves Field of the cross-town National League team, the Boston Braves. Team owner Ted Collins, who managed singer and television show host Kate Smith (1907–1986) for thirty years, picked the name Yanks because he originally wanted to run a team that played at New York City's old Yankee Stadium. The Yanks could manage only a 2–8 record during their first regular season. Because of a shortage of players caused by World War II, the Yanks were temporarily merged with the erratic founding APFA member Dayton Triangles' franchise, then known as the Brooklyn Tigers, for the 1945 season, and styled as just the Yanks with no home city named. The merged team played four home games in Boston and one in New York and finished with a 3–6–1 record. When Brooklyn Tigers owner Dan Topping announced his intention to join the newly established rival professional football league, the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), in 1946, his NFL franchise, which was a founding APFA member that he had moved from Dayton, Ohio in 1929, was revoked and all of its players were assigned to the Yanks, with the original Triangles legacy being carried on by this group. After three continuous losing seasons, Collins finally was allowed to move to New York City. But instead of an official relocation, he asked the league to officially fold his Boston franchise and give him a new franchise, for a Federal tax write-off. The League granted his request, and Collins named his new team the New York Bulldogs. However, like many of this franchise's moves, the NFL considers them to have folded, while the players and assets simply moved, ultimately keeping the Dayton Triangles' legacy alive as the last remaining Ohio League member.Despite the franchise's assets moving to a new city and carrying on the team's legacy, the Boston Yanks are the only officially defunct NFL team ever to have the first overall NFL draft pick. They had it twice, in 1944 and 1946, selecting quarterbacks from Notre Dame, Angelo Bertelli and Frank Dancewicz, both Massachusetts natives. (en)

Los juegos que entraban en conflicto con el calendario de los Boston Red Sox se llevaron a cabo en el Braves Field.El dueño del equipo , quien manejaba a la cantante Kate Smith, tomó el nombre de "Yanks" porque originalmente queríatener un equipo que jugara en el Yankee Stadium de New York. Los Yanks tuvieron una marca de 2-8 durante su primera temporada. Debido a la escasez de jugadores provocado por la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los Yanks se fusionaron con los Brooklyn Tigerspara la temporada 1945. El equipo fusionado jugó cuatro partidos en casa en Boston y una en New York. mas eso no importó a los aficionados de ambas,ya que terminó con una marca de 3-6-1. Cuando el propietario de Brooklyn Tigers anunció su intención de unirse a la All-America Football Conference en 1946, sufranquicia de la NFL fue revocada y todos sus jugadores fueron asignados a los Yanks. Después de tres temporadas perdedoras consecutivas,finalmente se le permitió a Collins trasladarse a New York. Pero en lugar de una reubicación oficial, le pidió a la liga plegar oficialmentesu franquicia de Boston y darle una nueva franquicia, para una deducción de impuestos. La liga le concedió su petición, y Collins nombró a sunuevo equipo de los New York Bulldogs.[1] Los Boston Yanks es el único equipo oficialmente extinto NFL en tener la primera selección del draft.Fue en dos ocasiones, en 1944 y 1946. Las dos veces que han seleccionado un quarterback de la Universidad de Notre Dame: (1944) y (1946). Propietario Ted Collins movió la "desaparecida" franquicia de los Yanks a New York en1949, donde continuó durante un año como los Bulldogs y dos años como los New York Yanks. (es)
