I will review this. For such a big article. This may take a few days and several rounds of comments. So please bear with me.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 10:26, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The Global Enterprises sentence in the lead is a run-on sentence and should be broken up.
 * I broke up that sentence with specifying that Steinbrenner bought the team from CBS (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   12:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "Arguably the most successful professional sports team in the United States and one of the most highly regarded," - WP:WEASEL
 * I removed "highly regarded" to only include the team success based on championship wins and alike (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   12:47, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * How could Johnson declare major league status if the NL had already said no?
 * It seems as if Johnson just did not agree with the NL's demands regarding their agreement. I reworded that sentence to reflect that (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   13:07, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What relevance does Joseph Gordon have to the Gordon Highlanders (apart from the same name), was his father in it or something?
 * According to multiple sources, that name was a nod to Gordon's Scottish heritage and nothing more than that. --   LuK3      (Talk)   13:38, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Why did the newspapers call them the "Invaders"?
 * I cannot find a definite answer to the nickname origin. It might refer to the American Civil War according to The New York Times however no connection explicitly stated. --   LuK3      (Talk)   13:47, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Is there a source for the sentence stating the Highlanders name falling out of use?
 * Sourced added (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   15:43, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The article mentions Hilltop Park's lease expired but theres no mention of there being one earlier. Was it built and then leased to the Highlanders or did they own it?, sell it and lease it back and from whom?
 * I added that they leased the land from the New York Institute for Special Education for 10 years (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   11:38, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Why were the Yankees kicked out of the Polo Grounds?
 * I found a source that stated the Giants manager was upset with the Yankees attendance and number of home runs so he decided to evict them (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   11:55, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Why were they called Murderers' Row?
 * Added a sentence regarding the history of the nickname (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   11:57, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * What other teams voted against the establishment of the amateur draft?
 * The I added the Mets, Dodgers, and Cardinals as the 3 others teams (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   11:54, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * In the 1981 section, Shea Stadium is WP:OLINKed as its already linked earlier when it talks about the Mets moving from the Polo Grounds.
 * I removed the subsequent wikilinks (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   12:02, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * "the Yankees were 14+1⁄2 games behind the Red Sox" - linking the Yankees and Red Sox like that is a little confusing
 * I agree, I reworded the sentence (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   12:02, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * More to come.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 08:52, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I know you're linking to teams seasons, rather than the actual team, but it does get a little misleading when the links on team names go to the season page. It should be made clearer.
 * I tried to standardize the team's wikilinks to just link to the team's main article (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   12:13, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Aaron Boone has been double linked in Baby Bombers when he was already linked earlier
 * Removed wikilink (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   15:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * DJ LeMaiheu needs linking at first mention
 * Added (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   15:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Murderers Row has also been double linked in the nickname section
 * Removed (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   15:42, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Logos and uniform section is just a hatnote
 * In the process and writing a subsection for uniforms and logos. --   LuK3      (Talk)   16:37, 22 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Polo Grounds double-linked in Fans and why the sudden inclusion of V at the end?
 * I removed the link (see ). The reason for the "V" was because the Polo Grounds were actually different stadiums. --   LuK3      (Talk)   02:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It would help to clarify that Barcelona, Real Madrid and Man Utd are association football clubs. Likewise that the Cowboys are an American football club
 * Specified the sports/league (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   02:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Old Yankee Stadium and Monument Park are double linked again in the Retired Numbers
 * Removed links (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   02:15, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Removed overlinks (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   00:32, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Rivalries section, more double links on the teams mentioned earlier
 * Removed links (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   02:17, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Subway Series, has it been mentioned why the games are called that, is there a direct subway link between the teams?
 * Added the term origin with a reference (see ). --   LuK3      (Talk)   00:37, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
 * More to come on the refs later.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 08:45, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:OLINK on repeated references to MLB Advanced media, NY Times etc.
 * I was under the impression each reference is considered standalone and therefore links for publications provide context. --   LuK3      (Talk)   01:45, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

 * , that concludes my review. A little exhaustive I know! Please ping me when you've had a chance to have a look at the points i've raised and I'll go over it again. I won't mark it as on hold and start the 7 day timer just because I know this could take a little while with such a big article.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 11:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the thorough review. I believe I addressed all of your points. Feel free to ping me back if I did miss anything. --    LuK3      (Talk)   02:15, 27 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks like it now meets the criteria to me. Well done . This is now a GA, sorry you had to wait so long for it.  The C of E God Save the King!  ( talk ) 07:56, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
