"Boston Yanks Football Team History"
June 19, 1943 - The Boston Yanks franchise starts operations and plays from 1944 through the 1948 season. According to the American Football Fandom webpages the team played its home games at Fenway Park. Games that conflicted with the Boston Red Sox schedule were held at the Manning Bowl in Lynn, Massachusetts. Team owner Ted Collins, who managed singer Kate Smith, picked the name "Yanks" because he originally wanted to run a team that played at New York City's Yankee Stadium. Unfortunately, the Yanks could only manage a 2-8 record during its first regular season.
