On every weeknight throughout the year, one of the TYA writers will post a trivia question as the nightly open thread. The blog administrators will keep track of the winners, and the commenter with the most correct answers will win a prize that has yet to be decided upon. The answers will be posted in the following evening’s open thread.
Yesterday’s question: 15 Yankees have worn #7 in the majors. Name as many as you can.
The correct answers, courtesy of commenter Alexander Mermelstein: Bobby Brown, Bob Cerv, Ben Chapman, Roy Cullenbine, Leo Durocher, Oscar Grimes, Tommy Henrich, Billy Johnson, Tony Lazzeri, Mickey Mantle, Cliff Mapes, Jake Powell, Aaron Robinson, Jack Saltzgaver, and Chuck Dressen.
Today’s question: 24 players have hit at least one HR for both the New York Yankees and Montreal Expos. How many can you name? For extra credit, only one of those players hit a HR against the Yankees while a member of the Expos. Who is he (hint: he is celebrating a birthday today)?
