Think You Bleed Pinstripes?

Then this is the book you've been waiting for. Eight chapters trace the full sweep of Yankees history: the Highlanders' scrappy beginnings, Babe Ruth's $100,000 sale that built a dynasty, Lou Gehrig's iron will, DiMaggio's 56-game streak, and the Judge era rewriting the record books today.

Each chapter is divided into four levels of difficulty — Rookie, Minor League, All Star, and Legend — so whether you're just getting started or think you know everything, there's a section here that will test you. 160 questions in all, chosen to challenge you, surprise you, and every now and then make you smile.

Think you know your Yankees? Try these:

• What modern-era pitching record did Jack Chesbro set in 1904 — the same season a single wild pitch cost the team the pennant?
• What made Mariano Rivera's 2019 Hall of Fame induction the first of its kind in Cooperstown history?
• How many home runs did Aaron Judge hit in 2022, and whose 61-year-old American League record did he break?
• Which legendary Yankee closed out his Yankee Stadium career with a walk-off single?

And that's just the warm-up. The ninth and final chapter is pure fun, with anagrams, a word search, and a handful of stories — like the wild pitch that ended a 41-win season in heartbreak, and the streak-saving error reversal that let DiMaggio's legend grow another eighteen games — that remind you why no franchise in baseball has a story quite like this one.

For anyone who has ever loved this team — this one's for you. Grab your copy now!
