I have been told that my grandfather designed the yankee logo (the one with the bat and ball), His father owned a uniform company in New York City. He is deceased so he obviously can not put the family rumor to bed..... Anyone know?

According to the Yankees web site, it was designed by Louis Tiffany for a medal given to an NYPD officer. From there, the Yankees adopted it and have used it since:
