Publisher's Synopsis
Calling all Yankees fans!
The Ultimate New York Yankees Trivia Book is a staple for anyone who loves baseball, sports trivia, and the Bronx Bombers. You will be tested on your knowledge of mind-blowing facts from the early days when Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, and Lou Gehrig owned New York, as well as the current era of Bronx baseball led by the likes of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.
Within these pages, you will find answers to over 350 trivia questions as well as hundreds of interesting facts, including:
- How many times was Billy Martin hired and fired as Yankees manager? (More times than you'd think.)
- In Derek Jeter's junior high yearbook, students were asked to write what they planned to be doing in 10 years. Jeter answered, "Playing shortstop for the New York Yankees."
- In a high school football game, former Yankee Johnny Damon suffered his first sports concussion at the hands of which NFL star?
- Back in 1998, former Yankee Alex Rodriguez was asked by a reporter who his dream date would be with. His answer? Jennifer Lopez. And 22 years later, J-Lo and A-Rod are currently engaged to be married.
- Who threw the Yankees' very first no-hitter in 1917?
Whether you're a lifelong Yanks fan or are simply looking to hit one out of the park on MLB Trivia Night at your local bar, The Ultimate New York Yankees Trivia Book is a grand slam.
