TYU's Super Bowl Sunday Yankees Trivia Contest

With the focus of the sports world on the NFL and the Yankees seemingly done tinkering with their roster until pitchers and catchers report, The Yankee U is running a Yankees trivia contest as a diversion.

The rules are simple. The first question is below. The answer to that question should be put into your web browser’s url area, where you should follow it with .blogspot.com. This will lead you to a page with another question, where the same rules apply. On each page, specific instructions are included to make sure you enter the right words, so be careful. For example, the answer may be Derek Jeter, and the instruction would read, add a 1 at the end of the name. This means the web address to the next question is derekjeter1.blogspot.com. There are 42 questions of varying difficulty, in honor of the great Mariano closing another All-Star game victory. The winner must leave a comment on the final page. Included in the comment should be the answers to questions # 6, 9, 17, 23, 29, 36, 42,and a name. The winner should then email me by using the contact us feature in the right toolbar. If you think I made an error in the setup, email me. Some of you may have played this game before, but I hope you’ll give it another try. The winner gets to write a guest post of any length on any topic in the week following the contest. Good luck, and happy hunting.

Question # 1: Let’s start with an easy one. What were the Yankees called immediately before they were the Yankees? Give the city and team name. (ie newjerseycornhuskers.blogspot.com)
