About Lehigh Valley Yankee Fan Club
If you’re a New York Yankees fan and reside in Eastern Pennsylvania, you may want to consider joining our organization. Formed in Spring 2002 by club president Chuck Frantz, our first meeting was held at the Dockside Inn in Catasauqua in May 2002.
Arguably the largest Yankee fan club in the United States with over 275 members as of January 2020, we bring the Yankees to the Lehigh Valley — comprised primarily of the Eastern Pennsylvania cities of Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, and its surrounding areas, which contains approximately a half million people.
Entrenched deep in the heart of Philadelphia Phillies country (Citizen’s Bank Park is less than seventy miles away from Allentown), we have formed due to common interest and a love for all that is navy blue pinstripe. With members of all ages, we salute the Yankee heroes of present and past. We have memories of Mickey Mantle tape-shot home runs, Whitey Ford strikeouts, Mariano Rivera saves, and Derek Jeter World Series hits.
This fan club also cares about the community we live in, and we want to give back to it. We are a non-profit organization and work with several area charities to lend our volunteer efforts.
