Yankee Trivia Questions from a Red Sox Fan

[26 to 6]

what a way to spend a boring night, baseball trivia

 

...classic, thats what baseball is all about

[a700hitter]

I'm only giving one minute to answer this one. Here goes. 1. What was Mickey River's nickname, 2.who was he acquired with and 3.who did the Yankees trade to get him.

[26 to 6]

Bobby Bonds was traded to get him, and I know one of his nicknames (if he even had more than 1) was Mick the Quick...the name of the pitcher he was acquired with escapes me right now

[26 to 6]

Ed Figeroa (sp)

[a700hitter]

2 out of 3

[a700hitter]

3 out of 3

[a700hitter]

Excellent.

[26 to 6]

I was thinking Figeroa, but I was thinking of the wrong first name, I was thinking Nelson (I think thats his first name anyway), the guy who played in the Phillies system a few years ago. And then when I was thinking Ed I was thinking Ed Yarnall, another modern player from about 4-5 years ago

[a700hitter]

Figueroa won 20 or 21 games I think for the 78 Yankees. Not too many people remember him. He was overshadowed by Gator, but he was a pretty good pitcher.

Yea, but if I am correct (which I very well may not be) his career started to go downhill from there. Could be thinking of somebody else though. Maybe Ed Yarnall

Here's an easy Red Sox one for ya ...who started game 1 of the 1903 World Series (this is pretty easy, surprised if you dont get it)

Your answer was late because you cheated by doing electronic research. Use your own mind. Stop being a computer geek.

Next question in 5 minutes.

[a700hitter]

Name the song that was played when Sparky Lyle entered the game.

[26 to 6]

Good one, cant say I know that one.

(Not because im a frontrunning Yankee fan who knows nothing about his team's history, but because it was years before my time, so dont pull a sweetchinmusic and say that im a frontrunner because I dont know it. )

[a700hitter]

I guess you couldn't find this on Google, He Hate Me.

 

Sparky entered the game to Pomp and Circumstance.
